The Marian College athletic department and the M-Club have partnered together in honoring our student-athletes for their contributions to Knight athletics. On November 18, 2006 this new tradition took shape with the final of four recognition dinners honoring the Marian College Knight athletes. This dinner took place on April 29, 2007 and honored the student-athletes who participated in the sports of: men's and women's track and field, baseball and softball.

Director of Athletics Joe Haklin emceed the proceedings along with M-Club Co-Director John Finke. Each of the coaches from their respective sports honored their student-athletes with an M-Club Recognition certificate. The athletes voted on four awards for each sport from Most Valuable Player to the Hustle Award. The four-year student-athletes in each sport were also honored with a plaque listing some of their accomplishments. Below is a recap and photos of the proceedings.
