Sportsmanship Award Honorees

BJAC gives out sportsmanship awards to campers who exemplify our values and model the culture change that we would like to see in the agility community. These awards were made to recognize outstanding sportsmanship, awarding character rather than performance, and contribute to our mission of “shaping competitors on and off the course.”
