Athlete(s) of the Year Chatter

Jump to Comments

It’s that time of the year.

Time to select The Volante Male and Female Athlete of the Year.

Although voting ends tomorrow, you have time to vote for the male (here) and female (here) winners.

Let me tell you, narrowing the final list down to five nominees was as hard as it’s been in my four years at USD. With each year and each list (male vs female), there are always 1-2 obvious choices. But this year, you have worthy selections on both sides.

For the male, you have a national champion (Terry Liggins), the nation’s leading rusher (Amos Allen) and the USD leader in career receptions (Brooks Little). Plus, you’ve got Dylan Grimsley and Scott Hargens — both worthy choices.

For the female, the list is STACKED. In it, you’ve got two national champions (Emma Erickson and Jill Smolczyk), a player from a national runner-up (Jeana Hoffman), one of the best distance runners in the country (Ramsey Kavan), and a worthy volleyball selection (Amber Kobus).

The two winners will be profiled in next week’s issue of The Volante.

Get online, make your pick and see who wins.
