FORT WAYNE, Ind. -- Each month throughout the academic year, the Indiana Tech athletic department honors one male and one female athlete that has excelled on the field and in the classroom, displaying "Warrior Pride" throughout the month. A pair of sophomores, men’s basketball’s Tanner Watkins and women’s track and field’s Brianna Woods, are the winners for the month of December.Â
