Sloan's work, "Go, Bantams, Go!" was selected by a judging panel from submissions for the contest that began in January. Sloan taught at Trinity for 28 years before retiring nine years ago.

Trinity's fall sports schedule begins the weekend of Sept. 11. The panel of judges— including faculty, staff and a student— narrowed the field to 12 before choosing between two works.
