Riley Felts Named as Top 30 Honoree for NCAA Woman of the Year

IRVING, Texas Charlotte All-American pole vaulter Riley Felts has been named as one of 30 athletes in consideration for the NCAA Woman of the Year.

Established in 1991, the award is rooted in Title IX and recognizes female student-athletes who have completed their undergraduate studies and distinguished themselves in their community, in athletics and in academics throughout their college careers.

Selected from a record-breaking 627 nominees submitted by member schools — a group that was then narrowed to 168 nominees at the conference level — the Top 30 honorees include 10 from each of the three NCAA divisions.
