KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Gaining a NAIA-SIDA (NAIA Sports Information Directors of America) award for the second year in a row, the Judson University sports information department finished in the top 10 for best athletic website. Judson's athletic website, http://www.judsoneagles.com/, tied for ninth place overall out of 56 entries.

"This award continues to show the progress of Judson Athletics," states Judson Director of Sports Information Adam Ledyard. "Our website is the first impression that recruits, alumni, friends, and family have of Judson Athletics. It is quite an honor to finish in the top 10 in the nation for the second year in a row."

Last year, http://www.judsoneagles.com/ was the 10th best website in the nation out of 32 entries. With 56 entries this year, the competition was a lot stronger and harder. Judson's finish was the best for the CCAC in the competition.

Each year the NAIA-SIDA hands out awards for publications and writing. This is the second year in a row that Judson University has been recognized. Due to the elimination of printed media guides, Judson did not compete in the brochure/media guide competition. Last year, Judson's fall media guide finished 5th in the nation for combined sports.
