Indianapolis, Ind. - The NCAA Woman of the Year award winners representing each state and the District of Columbia were announced August 28, 2001. Amy Ewert was honored as the Woman of the Year for the state of Utah.
Ewert's athletic accolades in 2000 include: an honorable-mention Kodak All-America selection, the Mountain West Conference Co-Player of the Year, the Mountain West Conference Defensive Player of the Year, a first-team all-conference pick and the Frank Layden Player of the Year. Her academic accolades are just as impressive. She is a two-time (1999 & 2000) academic all-MWC recipient and has made the honor roll and Dean's List several times. Outside athletics and academia, Ewert is a major contributor among the Salt Lake Community. She participated in several community service projects, was an active member of the Student-Athlete Mentor program (SAMS) as well as the Ute Lifeskills program and SAAC (Student-Athlete Advisory Committee).
The award honors outstanding female student-athletes who have excelled in academics, athletics and community leadership and have completed their collegiate athletics eligibility. More than 350 student-athletes were nominated for this year's award by their colleges and universities. A committee comprised of representatives from member schools selected the state winners. Alfreeda Goff, associate commissioner for the Horizon League, chaired the selection committee.
Each NCAA member institution was encouraged to submit a nominee. In fact, schools were allowed to submit the names of two nominees if one was an ethnic minority. The selection committee then reviewed the nominees' academic and athletics accomplishments and community service and involvement.
The state-level winners include 29 student-athletes from Division I, nine student-athletes from Division II and 13 student-athletes from Division III. These student-athletes participated in 14 of the 19 sports in which women compete for NCAA championships.
These are exceptional young women. Of the 51 state finalists, more than 11 competed on national championship teams. More than 20 were selected as all-Americans. Over 40 served as their team captains or co-captains. One is an Olympic medal winner. Two received NCAA postgraduate scholarships, while one received the NCAA Walter Byers Postgraduate Scholarship, one of only two given each year by the NCAA.
A national winner will be selected by the NCAA Committee on Women's Athletics from among 10 finalists. The finalists will be announced in September.
The national winner will be announced at the 2001 NCAA Woman of the Year dinner presented by Rawlings October 21 at the Indiana Roof Ballroom in Indianapolis. The theme for this year's event is "The Stars of Tomorrow."
Last year's national winner was Kristy Kowal, an Olympic gold medal swimmer from the University of Georgia.
