The conference released the James R. Spalding Sportsmanship Award team winners, and Hutchinson was the honoree for the Peacocks. She won the award for the indoor season as well. The GLVC James R. Spalding Sportsmanship Award honorees are student-athletes who have distinguished themselves through sportsmanship and ethical behavior. These individuals must also be in good academic standing while also demonstrating good citizenship outside of the sports-competition setting. Hutchinson is now eligible to become one of UIU's two Spalding Sportsmanship Award winners, which will be announced at the end of the academic year.
