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 first of four recognition dinners for the student-athletes at Marian College. The most recent dinner took place on March 17, 2007 and honored the student-athletes who participated in the sports of: men's basketball, women's basketball, dance and cheerleading.

Director of Athletics Joe Haklin emceed the proceedings along with M-Club Co-Director John Finke and M-Club Board Members Mary Riggle and Bill Murphy. 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 of the proceedings and photos of the Most Valuable Players for men's basketball, women's basketball, dance and cheerleading:
