The award honors graduating female student-athletes who have a proven track record of distinguishing themselves academically, athletically and in the community. This year, there were a record 585 student-athlete nominees across all NCAA divisions and 23 different sports.
From here, each conference will select up to two nominees each from the pool of school nominees, where the Woman of the Year selection committee, which is comprised of representatives of the NCAA membership, will select the Top 30 nominees – 10 from each division.
