AP Selected Candace Parker Female Athlete of the Year
What a banner year for the WNBA rookie and what a way to cap if off by winning the AP Female Athlete of the Year. This fantastic year began with Parker leading the Tennessee Vols women’s basketball team to a second straight national championship. She was then the over all first round pick by the Los Angeles Sparks in the WNBA draft, won WNBA Rookie of the Year as well as the league’s MVP award. She was also a member of the Women’s National Basketball team who won the Olympic gold in Beijing.
Winning 36 votes from The Associated Press, Candace Parker has been selected as Female Athlete of the Year, just edging out golfer Lorena Ochoa, who has won it the last 2 years.
