LATHAM, N.Y. - Gallaudet University first year
Jala Furdge (Brandon, Miss.) was named to the 2026 United East Conference Women's Outdoor Track & Field All-Sportsmanship Team as announced by the conference office.
The United East All-Sportsmanship Team recognizes student-athletes who epitomize the ideals of sportsmanship. Student-athletes selected to the All-Sportsmanship Team demonstrate fair play, graciousness in victory and respectfulness in defeat. Each individual has been chosen by their coach as a representative who embodies the Division III spirit.
Furdge joins eight other student-athletes, a representative from each conference member, on the All-Sportsmanship Team. Furdge set her personal-best time in the 1,500-meter run at the Eastern Shore Challenge, hosted by Salisbury University on April 18, finished 10th overall with a time of 6:19.17.
The nine student-athletes are ambassadors for their teams, both on and off the course, and galvanize their teammates toward their goals. They exhibit respect for themselves, teammates, coaches, opponents, officials, spectators, and the greater campus community.
