Navy Lightweight Crew Spirit of the Lightweights

The Spirit of the Lightweights award was initiated in 1969 and is presented annually by Navy’s varsity lightweight crews to the teammate they recognize as contributing most throughout the year to the crew’s spirit, determination, and competitive desire and for that teammate’s willingness to sacrifice for the good of the crew.
