NMSA Awards Banquet

On Saturday, Feb. 28, CNMI’s sporting community filled the Hibiscus Hall at the Crowne Plaza Resort Saipan for the annual NMSA Awards Banquet to honor and celebrate the athletes, coaches, and federations who defined 2025—a year marked by shattered national records, new personal bests, and breakthrough milestones on the local and regional stage. Joined by family members, sponsors, and representatives from the 24th CNMI Legislature, they gathered not just for an awards banquet, but to reflect on how far the islands have come in one unforgettable year and to look ahead to more competitions to come.
