Thank you to the @NAIA for coming to campus and honoring our Male A. O. Duer Award winner, Landon Ruesink! 🏆

Ruesink was the third DWU athlete in five years to earn the distinction, demonstrating the commitment and dedication that our student-athletes have both on campus and in the community, along with the continued support of our staff and faculty!

It was a privilege to be one of the first schools to take part in this celebration back in March, and we hope to host many more in the future!
