LAKE WALES, Fla. – Warner University Athletics is proud to announce its recognition as a Champions of Character Five-Star Gold Level Institution by the NAIA for the 2024-25 academic year—marking the second consecutive year the Royals have earned this prestigious honor. Warner received a perfect evaluation score of 100 points, the highest possible score, highlighting the university's continued commitment to character-driven athletics.

The Champions of Character program, developed by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), celebrates institutions that exemplify the five core values of Integrity, Respect, Responsibility, Sportsmanship, and Servant Leadership. The Gold Level is the program's highest distinction, awarded only to institutions that meet or exceed benchmarks in character education, academic achievement, conduct in competition, and community service.

"Achieving a perfect score for the second year in a row is a powerful affirmation of the culture we're fostering within Warner Athletics," said Sean Hanrahan, Director of Athletics. "This recognition reflects our intentional focus on developing student-athletes who lead with character, serve others, and represent Christ in all they do. I'm incredibly proud of our coaches, staff, and student-athletes for this accomplishment."
