One member of each varsity
sports team on every campus was chosen by the institution as a Sportsmanship
Award honoree and from each university’s list, two Outstanding Sportsmanship
Award winners were then selected. All of the Sportsmanship Award honorees have
distinguished themselves through sportsmanship and ethical behavior. In
addition, theses student-athletes must be in good academic standing and must
have demonstrated good citizenship outside of the sports-competition
setting.
The 22 Outstanding
Sportsmanship Award winners include 17 Academic All-Big Ten honorees and 11
All-Big Ten selections from the 2006-07 season. In addition, Ohio State women’s
basketball standout Jessica Davenport claimed her third consecutive Big Ten
Player of the Year accolade in 2007, while Wisconsin’s Joe Detmer was named the
Field Athlete of the Year for the indoor season.
