OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Ten NCAA^® softball student-athletes were selected as finalists for the 2022 Senior CLASS Award^®.

To be eligible for the award, student-athletes must be classified as NCAA Division I seniors or graduate student and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character, and competition. 

An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School^®, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their athletic platforms to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities. 

The finalists were chosen by a selection committee from the list of 30 candidates announced earlier this season. Nationwide fan voting begins immediately to help select the winner, and fans are encouraged to submit votes online at the Senior CLASS Award website through May 23. Fan votes will be combined with those of the media and Division I head coaches to determine the winner.

The Senior CLASS Award recipient will be announced prior to the 2022 NCAA Women’s College World Series^® in early June.
