Because there was no athletic awards due to the lack of competition season due to the pandemic, leadership awards were created. An award was given to an athlete on each of the teams for their leadership shown during the pandemic. Recipients were chosen by athletes on the teams by nomination. “As a second-year runner from Wilkie, Treyton Pernitsky has been the ultimate team player for the 2020-2021 season,” states Huskies Athletics. “This business student has made valiant efforts to stay in touch with his team and continues to motivate people to strive to achieve their goals academically, and athletically, during this difficult season.”
