To be fair, the TechnoKats have had some winning seasons lately. The bronze participation medals are essentially superfluous as marketing when you've got gold or silver to show off.

(We do also get official recognition from the school board, with small medals to go along with the whereas/therefore proclamation of our goodness.)
