SAN FRANCISCO – The Pac-12 Conference Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) has voted to award WASHINGTON STATE women's swimming student-athlete Anna Rosen with the Pac-12 Sportsmanship Award for 2016-17. Rosen received the award for her strength of character, dedication to her sport, and the strong desire to help others that she displayed throughout her career at Washington State, even as she struggled with a serious heart condition.
Rosen, despite being diagnosed with a rare heart condition, swam for three years at Washington State and set personal records with an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) in her abdomen.
