Every season, the Ladner Stingrays present awards to deserving swimmers at the end of the season banquet. Here is the breakdown of our awards.
Division Aggregate Awards
The aggregate awards are presented to the highest scoring female and male swimmers from each division across all swim meets. The points are calculated based on the following criteria:
- Minimum of 3 meets attended to qualify (excluding Development Meets and Provincials)
- 5 highest scoring meets
- 4 highest scoring events per meet (excluding all relay events)
- Point allocation: 1st = 9, 2nd = 7, 3rd = 6, 4th = 5, 5th = 4, 6th = 3, 7th = 2, 8th = 1
Runner-up awards are also presented to the next highest scoring female and male from each division if points have been earned by the remaining swimmers in that division.
Club Aggregate
This is awarded to the highest scoring swimmer in the club, based on the system above. O-Category swimmers are ineligible for this award. For swimmers within 5 points of each other, the award will be presented to both or all swimmers achieving this feat.
Swimmer’s Choice Award
The recipient of this award is chosen from a secret ballot of all swimmers in the club. The coaches canvas the swimmers to get their vote on their choice of the swimmer who shows all of the best characteristics of a good Stingray throughout the season.
Spirit Award
The recipient of this award is chosen by the coaches and is awarded to a swimmer who they feel adds spirit and sportsmanship to the club and represents a good Stingray throughout the season.
Most Improved Swimmer
This is awarded to the swimmer who achieved the biggest time drop across all swim meets (excluding Development Meets and all relay events).
