GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Three-time All-American middle blocker Rhamat Alhassan was recognized as one of 30 candidates for the 2017 Senior CLASS Award Tuesday (Oct. 3) afternoon.
According to the release, to be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the Senior Class Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
The 30 candidates will be narrowed to 10 finalists midway through the regular season, and those 10 names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans, who will select one candidate. The winner will be announced during the 2017 NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Championship in December.
Alhassan and the Gators continue SEC play Wednesday (Oct. 4) against Texas A&M.
