Northern Lehigh graduate and Moravian College junior Gavin Kemery has been named to the Landmark Conference’s All-Sportsmanship Team.

The All-Sportsmanship Team includes one student-athlete from each institution for each sport and is selected by the players and coaches from their respective team. In all, 47 student-athletes were selected to the team.

Kemery was named to for the men’s cross country program. The former Bulldog was fifth in the 2018 Landmark Conference Championships with a time of 26:31.55, as he earned Landmark All-Conference First Team honors for the second time in his career.

“Gavin is one of the kindest, most genuine people we’ve been fortunate enough to work with here,” noted Moravian’s Director of Men’s and Women’s Cross Country and Track & Field, Jesse Baumann. “Even his admissions counselors noticed this and felt he stood out in the recruitment process. This carries over to athletics as well as he is always complimentary of both his teammates and competitors, he always has an upbeat, “glass-half-full” mentality, and in general is just a positive person to be around. He tries to build up the spirits of everyone else around him and is a great example of a ‘Hound.”

The All-Sportsmanship Team recognizes student-athletes who epitomize the ideals of sportsmanship. The student-athletes selected demonstrate fair play, graciousness in victory and respectfulness in defeat. They are ambassadors for the team, both on and off the field, and galvanize their teammates toward their goals. These student-athletes exhibit respect for themselves, teammates, coaches, opponents, officials, spectators, and the greater campus community.

The All-Sportsmanship Team was created by the Landmark Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) in 2013 as a way to highlight student-athletes who are making an impact. The Landmark previously awarded a Sportsmanship Cup before the All-Sportsmanship Team replaced the Cup for the 2013-14 academic year.
