SALT LAKE CITY - Utah's Hannah Flippen is a finalist for the 2017 NCAA Woman of the Year Award. She is among 544 nominees from across all divisions of the NCAA and the lone Ute representative.
Flippen, Utah's all-time leader in runs, hits and batting average, concluded a stellar career by becoming the first three-time All-American in program history as well as the first four-time All Pac-12 honoree. She also became the first Ute to be named the Pac-12 Softball Player of the Year in consecutive seasons and the first person in the history of the conference to win that award along with Defensive Player of the Year honors
The four pillars recognized among Woman of the Year finalists include academics, athletics, service and leadership.
After graduating with a 3.59 GPA in psychology, Flippen received a postgraduate scholarship from the Pac-12 to pursue her masters degree at Utah in the fall. A three-time Pac-12 All-Academic selection, she became Utah softball's first two-time Academic All-American
Flippen has taken part in a number of social initiatives at Utah with other student-athletes and individually. She has volunteered at the Huntsman Cancer Institute and several local elementary schools, worked with Special Olympics, participated in Trunk or Treat and planted a food garden at a local middle school along with fellow Utah Softball players.
