Team Awards

Thad Thorne Sportsmanship Award

Since the inception of AAEF, our coaches have recognized one athlete each year for the Thad Thorne Sportsmanship Award. Throughout the recipient's years with the team, this athlete displays the sportsmanship ideals and qualities that all other athletes aspire to - not only cheering on their teammates, but cheering on those from other programs as well. These athletes did not give up after a fall, but rather stood right up and got back on the lift to the starting gate.
