Jessica Evans Nominated for NCAA Woman of the Year Award
Jessica Evans was one of the 455 female student-athletes nominated for the 2013 NCAA Woman of the Year award with 151 from Division III athletics.
The Woman of the Year award honors graduating female student-athletes who have distinguished themselves throughout their collegiate careers in the areas of academic achievement, athletics excellence, service and leadership.
SUNY Cortland senior swimmer Jessica Evans was selected to represent the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC). The Woman of the Year selection committee will choose the top 10 honorees in each division from the 455 nominees.
Evans is a physical education major who entered the spring with a 3.89 cumulative GPA. This past winter she earned second-team All-SUNYAC honors with a runner-up finish in the 100-yard butterfly at the SUNYAC Women's Swimming and Diving Championships. Evans also swam on a 200-yard freestyle relay team that won the SUNYAC title and earned honorable mention All-America honors with a 12th-place finish at the NCAA Division III Championships.
In September, the committee will announce the top three candidates from each division. The NCAA Committee on Women’s Athletics will then vote from among the finalists to determine the 2013 NCAA Woman of the Year.
The top 30 honorees will be honored, and the 2013 NCAA Woman of the Year winner will be announced, at the annual ceremony in Indianapolis on Oct. 20.
