Trophy Atrophy
These Days Everyone Is A Winner
They’re the first things you see when you enter my son’s room, and the only things he packed when a wildfire neared our home.
They’re 10 golden, gleaming trophies, each touting him as a “winner” at T-ball, soccer, basketball. The most recent is a pewter mega-monument he earned playing football—on a team that lost every game by about 30 points.
While certainly a winner in my book, the kid has never once been on a championship team. Or even a mediocre one. Still, he has received more trophies than birthday cakes in his life. And he’s not alone.
Mini-athletes get trophies these days just for showing up. They’re de rigeur, as much a part of kids’ sports now as Gatorade and ghastly, costly team photos. At the end-of-season pizza party (also a given), every team member gets a sizable statuette on an engraved pedestal. Play-off teams probably get bigger ones; ahem, I, wouldn’t know.
“Claire got a soccer trophy even though she sat on her fanny and cried through every practice,” says a mom I know. (more…)

The level 5 and 6 girls were in Kalamazoo for a state qualifying meet. The level 5 team won third place for their combined efforts in the competition.

The Jacksonville Gymnastics competitive team is continuing its tradition of being one of the best and largest teams in the state. Jacksonville is part of USA Gymnastics and draws gymnasts from all over central Arkansas.
With one of the largest teams in the state, Jacksonville has gymnasts competing – and winning – at almost every level of competition.
Jacksonville has brought home 17 first place trophies in four meets this season, most recently competing in Pine Bluff. The team won first place trophies for levels four, five and six. No team trophy was given for level three, but Jacksonville easily had the most points for that level.
The level six team has won three first place trophies this season. Level six is considered maybe the hardest level technically because judges want the gymnasts to be well-prepared before they are moved up to the optional levels – level seven and up. Optional gymnasts compete their individual routines that are choreographed for them personally by their coaches and compete using more difficult skills.

Hawthorn Auto Trophy goes to Hamilton
London, England – Lewis Hamilton received the Hawthorn Memorial Trophy on Friday at the Motor Sports Association’s Night of Champions.
The trophy ceremony took place at the Roylan Automobile Club, Pall Mall, and included 150 guests representing the best of British motorsport.
Hamilton received a standing ovation from the crowd and chief executive of the Motor Sports Association, Colin Hilton, said Hamilton has “captured the imagination” of the public.
“His performances have given us a great platform on which to raise the profile and develop the sport in this country,” he said.
The Hawthorn Memorial Trophy recognises the most successful British or Commonwealth driver in the Formula One championship.
It was first presented in memory of Mike Hawthorn, Britain’s first Formula One World Champion in 1958, who died a year after his victory.
Hamilton is the first driver to win the trophy in his maiden year of Formula One and the 18th driver to receive the trophy.
