"It is one of my favorite days of the year,” says Athletic Director Joe Reyda, adding that the event is a wonderful opportunity for the student-athletes to thank their parents, coaches, teachers, and teammates. It's also a chance for Gonzaga to recognize the students for all of their hard work in both the classroom and on the playing field.
The ceremony was pre-recorded and shared live on the Gonzaga Sports Facebook page. Watch it here:
