Blum, Bearden Receive Sportsmanship Recognition
Men's soccer junior Brady Blum and women's soccer junior Kylee Bearden were recently recognized as honorees of Truman's James R. Spalding Sportsmanship Award.
The award recognizes student-athletes who have distinguished themselves through sportsmanship and ethical behavior. Honorees must also be in good academic standing and demonstrate good citizenship outside athletic competition.
Blum, a junior defender, helped the Truman men earn the seventh seed in the GLVC Tournament and advance to the conference championship match for the first time.
Bearden, a junior midfielder, represented a Truman women's soccer team that finished 6-6-5 overall and 5-5-4 in GLVC play. The Bulldogs finished 10th in the conference standings with 19 points.
Blum and Bearden are now eligible to become one of Truman's two overall James R. Spalding Sportsmanship Award recipients, which will be announced by the conference at the end of the academic year.
