Karen Jennings was one of the top student-athletes in the history of collegiate women's basketball. The Persia, Iowa, native, who grew up on a farm, etched her name into the highest available individual national honors, including the 1993 Margaret Wade Trophy, presented to the nation's most outstanding player. Jennings earned back-to-back All-America honors on the court and was named the CoSIDA Women's Basketball Academic All-American of the Year following that same memorable season.
