BOCA RATON, Fla. - Florida Atlantic University softball pitcher Kylee Hanson was named one of 30 finalists for the Senior CLASS Award on Tuesday.
Hanson finished the 2016 season with a 28-5 record, led the nation in ERA (0.76) and shutouts (15), and was named C-USA Female Student-Athlete of the Year and a NFCA All-American. So far this season, she is 5-1 with a 0.91 ERA.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School ®, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition.
The 30 candidates will be narrowed to 10 finalists later in the season, and those 10 names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans, who will select one candidate who best exemplifies excellence in the four Cs of community, classroom, character and competition.
The Senior CLASS Award winner will be announced during the 2017 Women's College World Series.
