WINONA LAKE — Grace College welcomed student-athletes from the Northern Lakes Conference member high schools for a Sportsmanship Summit on Monday.

The summit was designed to educate NLC student-athletes about sportsmanship and character training in athletics.

“We are pleased to be a part of building character at the high school level through the Sportsmanship Summit,” Grace Director of Athletics Chad Briscoe said. “We hope it served as a great opportunity to educate and reinforce character education and to help promote the importance of sportsmanship for each student-athlete.”

Student-athletes from the NLC spent the day together working in groups to discuss and challenge one another in sportsmanship and character-building opportunities in the athletic realm. The students worked in team-building opportunities to promote camaraderie among the schools in the conference and create various mission statements for the NLC.

The Sportsmanship Summit featured sessions from Roger Grossman, Joey Graham, CeCe Robinson and Briscoe.
