WHAC Awards
All-Conference Team Awards are determined by the officiating panel during the tryout period after the team competition. Participants are judged on a standing tuck, triple jump, round-off back handspring layout, and a stunt sequence.
The WHAC will honor participating members that have achieved success in the classroom, on the mat, and in the community. The all-conference selections voted on by the WHAC coaches will be selected as well as all-academic for those that are of junior status and have maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.25. Each school has nominated a student-athlete that has embodied the five core values of the NAIA which are respect, integrity, servant leadership, responsibility, and sportsmanship.
