Lacey Nymeyer Humbled by Award- KOLD News

Former Wildcat turned Olympic silver medalist Lacey Nymeyer met with the media just days after being crowned the 2009 NCAA Woman of the Year.

As Dave Cooney originally reported Sunday, Nymeyer was chosen the winner out of 9 finalists in a pool of 30 from around the country. The award is given to the female student athlete-who best demonstrates a combination of academic and athletic excellence as well as community service and leadership.

The accolades both in and out of the pool for nymeyer are numerous. In four years, not only did the tucson native help lead Arizona to the 2008 NCAA title, she was also a four time Arizona academic champion as well as the 2007-2009 Toyo tires Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Nymeyer also participated in various volunteer programs including the Haven House for Women and Casa De Los Nino.

Lacey is the second Wildcat in three years to win the honor. Fellow former Arizona swimmer Whitney Meyers won it in 2007. Tanya Hughes won it in 1994.
