Len Everett Sportsmanship Award
The Len Everett Sportsmanship Award was established by GRAL to honor the memory of a man who was instrumental in the founding and structuring of the League. Leonard Everett, from Hungary Creek Recreation Association, stood for the highest ideals of fair competition and good sportsmanship. A plaque is awarded every year to one Club in each division whose swimmers, coaches, and parents have best exhibited these qualities. The Board Representative from each club submits a first and second choice for this award (voting only for clubs within their own division, excluding themselves) to the League President. The votes are tallied, and awards are announced at the Championship meet.
Below are previous winners of this award.
