SAINTS ATHLETES BRING HOME PRESIDENTS CUP

Chris Barney

MHCC Saints athletes have the honor of being bestowed with the NWAC Presidents Cup in the large school (Frank Bosone) division, for the third time in six years.

The Presidents Cup is an award based upon academic excellence, determined on a points system. Points are awarded for student-athletes who complete 36 or 72 credits, or complete a certificate or degree. The student-athletes’ GPA is used to discern how may points should be awarded.

Not only did the Saints earn the award this time, they’ve earned it two other times since it was first given out in the 2012-13 school year. The Saints also won the award in 2013-14 and 2015-16. The Presidents Cup has been awarded seven times now, and MHCC has won it three of those times.

The Northwest Athletic Conference is the organization that oversees community college athletics in the Northwest, or more specifically in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. NWAC’s large school division is for schools that have eight or more sports.

The Saints accepted this award, consisting of a cup and a banner on Tuesday, Dec. 3 on behalf of MHCC.

Congratulations, and Go Saints!
