WP, CCS students earn inaugural Multi-Activity Student Award
In an effort to emphasize the importance of multi-sport/multi-activity participation, the Nebraska School Activities Association (NSAA) and the Nebraska State College System (NSCS) are launching the Nebraska State College Multi-Activity Student Award program in the fall of 2020. The award recognizes students in grades 9-12 who participate in at least three NSAA sanctioned activities during the academic year.
The NSAA and NSCS have announce the 15,358 recipients of the inaugural 2020-2021 Nebraska State Colleges Multi-Activity Student Award.
The Multi-Activity Student Award is based solely on each member school’s eligibility list submitted through the NSAA website.
Fall activities are girls golf, softball, boys tennis, cross country, volleyball, football, unified bowling and play production.
Winter activities are bowling, wrestling, swimming and diving, basketball, speech and debate.
Spring activities are music, journalism, soccer, baseball, girls tennis, track and field, unified track and field and boys golf.
Each high school student who meets the NSAA eligibility criteria will be recognized and awarded a certificate of achievement.
The NSAA and the NSCS highlighted the four high schools with the most multi-activity students. These four high schools will be presented with a banner at the NSAA State Soccer Championships in May to display at their school.
