Admissions Advice

Where should I put this award?

Hi everyone! I'm unsure where exactly to put this award. My team received certificates of recognition from my city due to our accomplishments my freshman and sophomore year (medaling at championships). For reference, the team I'm on isn't wholly athletic: it's kind of a mix of that and a performing art. I initially put it under the honors section of the Common App, but that's just for academic achievements. I was wondering if I should merely mention in on the description of the extracurricular or if I would be odd if I left it. Thank you!

Hi, In my opinion it is better to left it as long as you described it very well.
