NSU Athletics

NSU's athletics director Marty Miller is leading a remarkable community of dedicated athletes, coaches, trainers, staff, instructors, and supporters. At the recent NSU Athletic Awards Banquet, there were hundreds of NSU athletes, coaching staff, faculty, staff, and administrators present to witness the academic and athletic accomplishments of our talented scholar athletes. The Athletic Awards Banquet highlighted the academic successes among the athletes; some with GPA’s soaring to 3.95, which is a major accomplishment for such young and impressionable minds. I’m glad I sat with the athletes. I experienced and saw the pride on their faces as they were being praised for being smart and talented. The athletes were praised and rewarded for being the best among hundreds of competitors and for embracing the Spartan Pride. The coaches are special people with big hearts for nurturing the positive self-efficacy among their players. Mr. Miller and his team worked extremely hard for their recognition night and I was thrilled to be a part of it. I appreciate all that Mr. Miller and his team do to give students so many opportunities to fulfill their dreams, on the fields, courts, tracks, and lanes; and especially in the classroom. The Athletics Awards Banquet program was beautiful from beginning to the end. The food was delicious, music soothing, the MC (Chris Reckling, WAVY News 10) was exceptional, and Bruce Smith (keynote speaker) brought a fantastic message. Go Spartans!
