Mansfield University Athletics issued the following announcement on June 1.
Mansfield University women's soccer sophomore Emily Smith, field hockey sophomore August Lewis, men's track and field senior Donoven Cook and baseball senior Assaf Lowengart were named the 2021-22 Male and Female Iron Mounties of the Year by third-year Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Greg Gustin at the sixth installment of the Mountie Awards on Wednesday night, May 25.
Gustin announced the 2021-22 Iron Mounties of the Year for displaying hard work ethic, positive attitude, and dedication in the weight room throughout their offseason.
This award is special because it aims to recognize athletes in other ways besides in their respective sports. The Iron Mountie of the Year recognizes athletes for the intangibles that help to create good team culture and build success from the ground up. We select these award winners on four pillars of criteria: leadership (vocally or by example), strength in body in mind performance in the strength and conditioning realm, growth in mindset (someone who is constantly looking to continue and grow in their time as a Mountie) and consistency.
