2022-23 KCAC WOMEN'S GOLF TEAM OF CHARACTER AND CHAMPIONS OF CHARACTER ANNOUNCED

WICHITA, Kan. — The Bethany College women's golf team has been awarded the KCAC Champions of Character Team of the Year honor for their sport in the 2022-23 season. Champions of Character award winners from each institution have also been chosen. The KCAC Team of Character and Champions of Character awards are sponsored by IMA Financial Group and Dissinger Reed, and both were based on the NAIA Champions of Character award.

Committed to advancing character-driven athletics, the NAIA Champions of Character program aims to inspire student-athletes, coaches, officials, and fans to hold high standards and embody what character truly means in a competitive arena. By keeping the five core values of integrity, respect, responsibility, sportsmanship and servant leadership at the heart of the athletics experience, the Champions of Character program empowers participants to change the culture of sport.
