CHARACTER & LEADERSHIP WITHIN SPORTS
The Northwest Conference loves celebrating our student-athletes in and outside of the classroom. Character Development and Leadership are a top priority in the conference, and we want to provide our communities with a simple and efficient way to see character, leadership and sportsmanship of our student-athletes through the traits that make them up.
The Northwest Conference is asking every school to select two of the 32 character traits to show recognition to two student-athletes within their programs for that trait. This will be going on throughout the summer and will include the follow words:
| PASSION | APPRECIATION | PREPARATION | SELFLESSNESS | GRIT | ACCOUNTABILITY |
| SPORTSMANSHIP | HUMILITY | COMPETITIVENESS | HONESTY | CARING | CONFIDENCE |
| COMPOSURE | TOLERANCE | COURAGE | POSITIVE ATTITUDE | SERVICE | ENTHUSIASM |
| LEADERSHIP | DETERMINATION | CHARACTER | EFFORT | COMMITMENT | TEAMWORK |
| DESIRE | WORK ETHIC | COACHABLE | TRUST | FOCUS | GOOD JUDGEMENT |
| PERSEVERANCE | INTEGRITY |
Character and Leadership play an important role in the development and success of our schools, and athletics show them in one of the most polarizing ways possible. Today we are recognizing two stellar student-athletes from Meridian High School!
MERIDIAN HIGH SCHOOL
LEADERSHIP
Logan Ignacio (Meridian)
“Logan exemplifies leadership through her unwavering dedication, kindness, and consistency. As team captain for the past two seasons in both cross country and track & field, she has set the tone with her actions by cheering on her teammates, welcoming new members with open arms, or offering a congratulatory word at the finish line. She is always seeking ways to grow, not only pushing herself but also setting an example for her teammates as they pursue excellence together. Logan leads with purpose, motivates those around her, and plays a key role in building a cohesive team culture rooted in camaraderie, support, and a shared commitment to improvement.”
DETERMINATION
