Every year the Steuben Striders give awards based on the following:
​

​Merit Awards: Recognizing the outstanding athletic or academic accomplishments of our Strider athletes.

  • High Point Award: Honoring the athletes who have earned the highest points in each age group. This is based on the most points scored in each age group at our three home meets.
  • Certificate of Record: We recognize any athlete who has set or broke an existing Steuben Striders record.

Dear Lord, in the battle that goes on through life, I ask but a field that is fair, a chance that is equal with all in the strife, and courage to strive and to bear. And if I should win, let it be by the code with my faith and my honor held high. And if I should lose, let me stand by the road and cheer as the winners go by. ​Amen ” - Athlete's Prayer
