STILLWATER — Oklahoma State soccer player and Mustang native Jaci Jones was named the Big 12 Sportsperson of the Year, becoming the first OSU athlete to receive the honor.
The Big 12 Sportsperson of the Year awards began in 2001 to annually recognize student-athletes who displayed an extraordinary level of sportsmanship, community service and academic achievement. A male and female award winner is chosen by the conference each year with the winners selected by a media panel.
A four-year standout at midfielder for the Cowgirls, Jones was an all-conference and all-region performer who helped OSU to a pair of Big 12 championships.
