FIYA AWARDS ASSEMBLY
The annual FIYA Awards Assembly is held each year in early June to honor and recognize Division 1 student athletes as follows:
All FIYA Teams: This award is for League Events where FIYA conducts Division 1/1A playoffs and teams qualify and/or advance in Division 1/1A playoffs.
All FIYA Academic: This award is for Qualifying Schools only*. To receive this award, a student athlete from a Qualifying School needs to (i) be in 8th grade, (ii) fully participate in at least TWO of the Qualifying School’s Division 1 teams (this can be a League Event or a Tournament Event) and (iii) maintain a cumulative grade point average for the entire school year of at least 3.90.
*Please see our Regulations Manual for more on qualifying schools and specific criteria to be eligible for All FIYA Awards.
ALL FIYA Cross Country Team: The ALL FIYA Cross Country Team award is for a Division 1 athlete who qualifies in one of two ways:
a. A runner who attends a supra-majority of the cross country meets during one season and finishes in the top twenty percent (20%) of each meet (competitive race only). The top twenty percent (20%) is determined by taking the total number of D1 runners at a meet and dividing by 5; we round up if the divisible number is .5 or higher. For purposes of this section, supra-majority means attending at least 75% of the meets during one season; or
b. A runner who attends at least half of the cross country meets during one season and finishes in the top ten percent (10%) of each meet (competitive race only). The top ten percent (10%) is determined by taking the total number of D1 runners at a meet and dividing by 10; we round up if the divisible number is .5 or higher.
ALL FIYA Track & Field Team: The ALL FIYA Track & Field Team award is for a Division 1 athlete who qualifies in one of two ways:
a. An athlete who attends a supra-majority of the track and field meets during one season and finishes in the Top 6 in at least two of the individual track or field events (relays are not included) at each meet: 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, Long Jump, Shot Put and Turbo Javelin. For purposes of this section, supra-majority means attending at least 75% of the meets during one season; or
b. An athlete who attends at least half of the track and field meets during one season and earns points by finishing in the Top 6 in the same individual events listed in (a) above and such points earned exceeds the Qualified Threshold. The Qualified Threshold depends on the number of track and field meets offered during one season: If there are 4 meets, the Qualified Threshold is 44; if there are 5 meets, the Qualified Threshold is 55 and if there are 6 meets, the Qualified Threshold is 66.
ALL FIYA Sportsmanship Award: The ALL FIYA Sportsmanship Award is for Qualifying Schools only, as that term is defined in the previous section. Each Qualifying School may nominate graduating 8th grade student athletes who best exemplify the FIYA Sportsmanship Pledge by completing the ALL FIYA Sportsmanship Nomination form and submitting it to FIYA prior to the deadline. A student athlete who is nominated is not automatically awarded the All FIYA Sportsmanship Award. Rather, all nominated student athletes will be carefully reviewed by FIYA and all the Qualifying Schools subsequently will be notified of the selected members to the ALL FIYA Sportsmanship team.
Shanese Washington Memorial Scholarship Winners: $500 scholarship presented to winners who best exemplify the FIYA Sportsmanship Pledge and write the winning essay as selected by the scholarship committee.
*Please see our Regulations Manual for more on qualifying schools and specific criteria to be eligible for All FIYA Awards.
TEAM LEAGUE AWARDS
A league championship plaque is given to the first place team in all Divisions. For teams that tie for first place, FIYA uses the head to head result to break the tie. Where there is no head to head result, multiple league championship plaques will be given. For Division 1 only, FIYA provides a city-wide playoff format for League Events and issues team and individual awards to the finalists.
TOURNAMENT AWARDS
A team plaque will be given to the top finishing teams in each Tournament Event (including but not limited to: Cross Country meets, Track & Field meets, and Dance competitions) and individuals ribbons and/or medals will be given to the top finishing individuals in each Tournament Event. In addition, for some FIYA Tournament Events, FIYA will issue team seasonal tournament champion awards.
