Traditionally, The Iron Mountie of the Year recognizes student-athletes for the intangibles that help to create good team culture and build success from the ground up. We select these award winners on four criteria: leadership (vocally or by example), strength in body in mind (performance in the strength and conditioning realm), growth in mindset (someone who is constantly looking to continue and grow in their time as a Mountie) and consistency.
