LATHAM, N.Y. - Gallaudet University first year
Joy Watkins (Hockley, Texas) was named to the 2025 United East Conference Women's Outdoor Track & Field All-Sportsmanship Team as announced by the conference office.
The United East All-Sportsmanship Team recognizes student-athletes who epitomize the ideals of sportsmanship. Student-athletes selected to the All-Sportsmanship Team demonstrate fair play, graciousness in victory and respectfulness in defeat. Each individual has been chosen by their coach as a representative who embodies the Division III spirit.
Watkins joins 10 other student-athletes, a representative from each conference member, on the All-Sportsmanship Team. Watkins participated at the 2025 United East Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships hosted by Gallaudet University earlier this month and finished in seventh place in the 800-meter run with a personal record time of two minutes and 50.84 seconds. She placed eighth in the 1,500-meter run with a career best time of 5:57.08.
The 11 student-athletes are ambassadors for their teams, both on and off the course, and galvanize their teammates toward their goals. They exhibit respect for themselves, teammates, coaches, opponents, officials, spectators, and the greater campus community.
