At the Opening Ceremony for the National Championship Tournament, AMTA honored several individuals with annual awards. Mr. William Warihay, Lawyer, AMTA Director, former AMTA President, current AMTA Treasurer, and Coach of Georgia Tech, was honored with the Neal Smith Award in recognition of his contributions to AMTA's educational mission in a broader sense over the course of his career. AMTA also recognized the winners of the W. Ward Reynoldson Award by virtue of coaching teams to the National Final Round in 2024. All winners can be found here.
At our Opening Ceremony, the Honorable Sharon L. Kennedy, Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court congratulated the National Championship teams and offered her words of wisdom and advice to the community. At Closing Ceremonies, we also presented the Spirit of AMTA Awards to Northwestern University and Loyola University Chicago in recognition of their commitment to AMTA's ideals of civility, justice, and fair play. The full Opening and Awards Ceremonies will be available next week on the AMTA YouTube page.
Thank you to everyone who competed in AMTA in 2025. This was yet another unprecedented season and we are so glad that we were able to travel from Regionals to Cleveland with you.
