The University of Tennessee at Martin’s Leah Taylor has been selected as the Ohio Valley Conference’s nominee for the NCAA Woman of the Year award. The award will be announced at the Woman of the Year Awards Dinner in Indianapolis on Oct. 14. Each conference nominates up to two women and from that group the NCAA Committee on Women’s Athletics narrows it down to the top 10 per division that will be announced in August. In September, the CWA will select the top 3 per division. The NCAA Woman of the Year Award honors graduating student-athletes who have distinguished themselves throughout their collegiate careers in the areas of academic achievement, athletics excellence, service and leadership. Student-athletes are nominated only once in their career by their institution. The NCAA CWA manages the nomination process and selections.
