The John Balak Award

The John Balak Award was first awarded in 1994 in commemoration of one of the most valued members of the St. Margaret's community. An ardent supporter of the athletic programs, John Balak's friendly smile and encouraging word will forever be etched in the minds of the athletes who were fortunate enough to know him. The recipient of this award is the person that the coaches of St. Margaret's feel best emulates the life and perspective of this fine man.
 
The John Balak Award winner is unselfish, dedicated to their sport and school, and models a work ethic that every coach desires from his athletes.
 
The student is an athlete that demonstrates respect for his/her teammates, coaches, and the opposing team. The individual is fiercely competitive but makes the distinction between hatred and competition.
 
The most important trait the John Balak Award winner emulates is integrity. You can count on this person to give it their best, to take responsibility for their performance, and to praise their teammates for a win.
