Female Athlete of the Year Junior infielder Kayti Grable not only set a new NIU-single season record with 15 home runs, she was also named First Team AllMAC and helped lead her team to a winning season. Grable’s ability to lead her team, opening the season in a 16-game hitting streak and closing the season ranked in the top 75 nationally in home runs, on-base percentage and slugging percentage, sets her apart from the other nominees. She’s my prediction to win this award because she sets high records for herself every season while leading her team at the same time.
