August 24, 2010
Sandusky, OH I received an email today from the Women's Sports Foundation announcing I am one of 10 finalists for the Sportswoman of the Year award. It is a great honor to be a finalist for the award, especially given the company with whom I am listed.

From the WSF press release, "the 2010 finalists have distinguished themselves from the field by their record-breaking, historic, or simply amazing athletic performances. Each year, the Women's Sports Foundation recognizes these women for their incredible achievements as members of a team and as individual performers."
"Athletes
were considered for the 2010 ballot based on their athletic
achievements between August 1, 2009, and July 31, 2010. Nominations for
the Sportswoman of the Year - Individual and Team awards are made by
sport governing bodies and the public. Sportswoman of the Year finalists
will be voted on by Foundation membership and the public from August
24, through midnight EST on August 31, 2010." You can vote online here:
I am very excited to be on this list of great female athletes. Everyone's votes will count, so please vote!

isn't possible without you all, so a very big thank you.
