Four Rhinelander High School student-athletes traveled to Stevens Point Wednesday, Dec. 13. to take part on the WIAA’s annual sportsmanship summit.

According to a Facebook post from the Rhinelander High School activities department, “the purpose of the Summit is to assist membership schools with their citizenship and sportsmanship efforts for students, student-athletes, adult fans, advisors, parents and booster clubs; developing plans to improve or maintain good sportsmanship locally; and assisting schools identify and implement a respectful environment for education-based athletics.” 

The summit also featured a morning keynote address, an afternoon workshop and three time slots for four different breakout sessions, which focused on the ideals of sportsmanship/citizenship.
