JCSU Celebrates The Standard Of Excellence That Defines The Golden Bulls Athletics Program
The JCSU Athletics Awards Banquet celebrated the heart, discipline, and dominance of the Golden Bulls across every sport — honoring those who put in the work when no one was watching and showed up when it mattered most.
Top Honors
The prestigious Pettis Norman Award recognized our most outstanding student-athletes:
• Janya Barnes – Most Outstanding Female Athlete
• Daryl Taybron, Jr. – Most Outstanding Male Athlete
From the hardwood to the track, the field to the lanes — this night was about more than awards. It was about commitment, growth, and the standard of excellence that defines Johnson C. Smith University Athletics.
Salute to every award recipient, every teammate, every late night, and every sacrifice. This is what greatness looks like.
