The Gauntlet annually gives out the Extra Effort Award to two athletes that deserve it. This year’s recipients were from women’s hockey Kealy McGraw and from men’s volleyball Kelly Cherniwchan (far right). McGraw went out off her way to make inspirational pre-game CDS and highlight videos for her team, while Cherniwchan overcame injury after injury to help a team with a losing record finish fourth in the nation.
