SALT LAKE CITY - Utah women's basketball player Kalee Whipple is one of 50 student-athletes named to the 2009-10 Naismith Trophy Preseason Watch List, announced today by the Atlanta Tipoff Club. The Naismith Trophy is the most prestigious national award presented annually to college basketball's player of the year.
Whipple, a product of Hiko, Nev., returns as the Utes' leading scorer after finishing second in the league in scoring last season, with an average of 17.0 points per game. A 2008-09 unanimous all-MWC first-team selection, she amassed three 30+ point games, while scoring in double-figures in 31 of her 33 games.
Whipple most recently led Utah to a win over Big Ten foe Minnesota, scoring 17 points for her 19th consecutive game in double-figures. She has 1,427 career points, which ranks 10th all-time in scoring at Utah.
Utah goes on the road on Saturday, Nov. 21, to take on UCLA in the JHG Jam, hosted by San Diego State.
