The Marian College M-Club, the fundraising arm of the Marian College Department of Athletics, put on its annual winter sports recognition banquet on Saturday evening at Allison Mansion.

The sports of men's basketball, women's basketball, cheerleading, and dance were honored for their accomplishments throughout the 2007-08 year both on and off the court.

Each team member was honored with a certificate of participation with the team voting on special awards for each of the sports.

Additionally, those select athletes who have committed four years to Marian College Athletics were honored for their commitment. Derek James (men's basketball) and Lindsey Stout (dance) were the lone honorees for their respective sports while Lisa Manley and Mandy Kot represented the women's basketball program.

The Marian College M-Club would like to congratulate and thank each of the athletes who have given their time and bodies for Knight Athletics. Thank you and congratulations!
