After competing in the AAC Conference meet in Johnson City, Tennessee, the Cavalier Track and Field Team was awarded the AAC Champions of Character Award.

Criteria for the Champion of Character Institutional Award: The institution needs to show how the institution intentionally implements the NAIA Champions of Character philosophy in the intercollegiate athletic program and provide a listing of the on-campus and community leadership and involvement efforts of student-athletes and staff.

"We take great pride in winning this award," said Coach Herbert. "The coaches in the conference vote on the winners every year, and we've enjoyed an excellent tradition of success. Our school and program remained committed to service, Christ-like character, and the Champions of Character program."
