HONOR ROLL
NCAA WOMAN OF THE YEAR
PEACH OF AN ATHLETE The Atlanta Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America holds the Peach of an Athlete Role Model Banquet to honor students who excel in academics, athletics and service to the community. Since the 1980s, the banquet has recognized deserving athletes whose character, scholastic achievement, athletic excellence and commitment to community service most closely match the aims and ideals of the Scouting program. Rebecca Rowsey, a five-time member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll and three-time selection to the SEC Community Service team, was one of UGA’s three Peach of an Athlete honorees in 2008.
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. Since it’s inception in 1991, the program has recognized nearly 2,000 state and conference honorees. The NCAA Woman of the Year selection committee determines the top 10 and top three honorees in each division. Nominees from Divisions I, II and III will be considered equally for national awards. The University of Georgia has produced three national winners of the Woman of the Year – swimmer Lisa Ann Coole in 1997, swimmer Kristy Kowal in 2000 and swimmer Kimberly A. Black in 2001.
