Two Southwestern students are being recognized for the kind of excellence that goes far beyond the scoreboard.

Shelby Swarthout (Unified Bowling) and Braya Beaver (Varsity Girls Basketball) have each been named recipients of the Heart of a Champion Character Athlete Award, an honor that celebrates leadership, sportsmanship, and the positive impact student-athletes make on their teams and school community.

Shelby and Braya exemplify the values of dedication, respect, and teamwork that define Southwestern athletics. Their commitment both on and off the playing surface makes them truly deserving of this recognition.

Congratulations to Shelby and Braya on this outstanding achievement! 🏆
