GREENVILLE, S.C. – The Conference Carolinas “Body, Mind, Soul” feature series earned three district awards from the College Sports Communicators Fred Stabley Jr. Writing Contest.

Conference Carolinas was named the District 3 winner in the “Event Coverage” category and took home runner-up finishes in “Athlete Profile” and “Social Justice/Diversity.”

The 2023-24 “Event Coverage” district winner was a feature on the North Greenville women’s soccer team preseason trip to Australia (story).
