DES MOINES, Iowa – The Drake athletic community recently had two representatives earn a pair of MVC awards.
Former Bulldog student-athlete and current television commentator Laura Leonard was honored for her years of enthusiastic commitment to promoting and celebrating athletics across The Valley with the John Sanders Spirit of The Valley Award.
Leonard was selected for her persistent exemplification of the spirit of the late John Sanders, a former MVC Assistant Commissioner for Operations. Some of the characteristics that all Spirit of the Valley Award winners demonstrate include a strong work ethic, passion for the conference and its members, and a sense of humor.
