Maddy suffered a broken ankle right before our first practice and has been in a cast or boot all season. Maddy has become another coach during this absence by attending each practice and meet. At our meets she drives around in a cart and makes sure all the girls have food and just makes sure they are having fun. Without Maddy our program would suffer.

Lauren demonstrates leadership, a positive attitude and kindness in everything she does on and off the court.

Her compassion for her teammates, our community and humankind makes her an undeniable MVT.

Shane is deserving of this award because he shows up every day and does what he has to do to make us better. He is a selfless teammate who wants us to succeed as a team. Shane doesn’t get the playing time he wants but he doesn’t complain, he just keeps showing up and doing his best.

She provides a much-needed student voice, recognizing athletes, coaches and fine artists with her weekly "Love Maroon Live Gold" column on JordanActivities.org.

Hailey is a perfect example of what hard work and determination look like. She balances being a member of the varsity jazz, varsity high kick and basketball teams, attending two practices a day along with maintaining a 3.95 grade-point average.
