Rooted in Title IX, the NCAA Woman of the Year Award was established in 1991 to recognize graduating female student-athletes who have exhausted their eligibility and distinguished themselves in academics, athletics, service and leadership throughout their collegiate careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nominees represent all three NCAA divisions, including 259 nominees from Division I, 126 from Division II and 220 from Division III.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A two-time team captain, Baker helped the Lady Flames capture back-to-back CCSA titles in 2019 and 2020. She swam on nine CCSA-champion relay teams and was a five-time CCSA individual podium finisher. Her 1:46.55 leadoff leg of Liberty\u2019s CCSA and conference-meet record 7:10.73 800 free relay in 2018 remains a program record for 200 freestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/augustafreepress.com\/libertys-baker-nominated-for-ncaa-woman-of-the-year-honors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">READ MORE \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liberty standout swimmer Hannah Baker is one of a record-setting number of nominees for the 2020 NCAA Woman of the Year award.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.libertystudentnews.com\/?p=5190\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Liberty&#8217;s Baker nominated for NCAA Woman of the Year Honors<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":5195,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[93],"class_list":["post-5190","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-libertys-baker-nominated-for-ncaa-woman-of-the-year-honors","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.libertystudentnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/hannah-baker-e1594907276923.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pJcR0-1lI","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.libertystudentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.libertystudentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.libertystudentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.libertystudentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.libertystudentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5190"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.libertystudentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5190\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5194,"href":"https:\/\/www.libertystudentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5190\/revisions\/5194"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.libertystudentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5195"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.libertystudentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.libertystudentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.libertystudentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
