Sportsmanship Matters

Be the true champion.

Rural Mutual Insurance has been a sponsor of the WIAA Sportsmanship Award since it was started in 1965.

We believe there’s something more important than just winning or losing a tournament. We believe that the team, school, and fans who support their athletes with dignity and class are the true champions.

The Sportsmanship Award recognizes the entire community for their conduct and appreciation for good sportsmanship – not just the athletes and coaches – but their fans and community and how they present themselves at state tournament events.
