Gourley Selected Senior CLASS All-American
Wednesday, May 31, 2017 | Softball
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Senior Delanie Gourley was selected to the Senior CLASS All-American Second Team after being named a Top 10 Finalist earlier this year. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as 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.
Gourley is on track to graduate with a degree in Sociology and has spent the last four years at Florida as mentor both on the team and in the community as she has currently volunteered over 70-plus hours to local organizations and unselfishly helped her fellow teammates excel.
Over the years Florida softball has been well represented by outstanding student-athletes who have garnered notoriety with the Senior Class Award. In 2009, Stacey Nelson became the first Gator to receive the award.
