Below is a list of Cadet earned awards for ending of the listed academic year. Special note is to be made for the Koehn and Murphy awards, named after, and in honor and memory of Danial Murphy (2003) and Kim Koehn (1973), both of whom exhibited such a love of our sport that so played a part in their lives that their families and teammates wished to preserved their memories.

As sometimes happens with changing of coaches and administrations, these details get lost, so where the award was not given out by name, but another 'named' award was named, a 'best fit' is place into the chart below. The details are kept on this site for posterity: Murphy Award and Koehn Award
