Clarke’s Senior CLASS Award Page
NASHVILLE — Vanderbilt senior forward Tiffany Clarke (Duluth, Ga.) has been named one of 30 finalists for the Women’s Basketball Senior CLASS Award.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athelte and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
The candidate classes will be narrowed to 10 men’s and 10 women’s finalists midway through the regular season, and those 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 men’s finalist and one women’s finalist who best exemplifies excellence in the four Cs of community, classroom, character and competition.
Clarke is one of three SEC players on the list, joining Florida’s Jennifer George and Georgia’s Anne Marie Armstrong.
