CALVIN KNIGHT SPORTS REPORT FOR AUGUST 27, 2012
Rebecca Kamp Named One of 30 Finalists for NCAA Woman of the Year Award
VOLLEYBALL
(Written by MIAA publicist Greg Chandler)
Recent Calvin graduate Rebecca Kamp has been named one of 30 women to be
considered for the NCAA’s Woman of the Year Award.
The top 30 women are composed of 10 honorees from each of the NCAA’s three
divisions and span various NCAA sports. In September, three finalists will be
chosen from each division to form nine finalists for the award. The 2012 Woman
of the Year will be announced and the top 30 women will be honored during an
Oct. 14 ceremony in Indianapolis. Kamp is the second individual from Calvin to
be named a top 30 honoree as Lisa Winkle was so honored in 2007. Kamp graduated
from Calvin this past May and is now teaching at Westminster Christian School
in St. Louis, Missouri.
The top 30 honorees reflect the pillars of the Woman of the Year award, with
outstanding achievements in academics, athletics, community service and
leadership.
Kamp, who graduated from Calvin in May with a 3.93 grade point average in
special education/elementary education, was a four-time All-MIAA first team
selection in volleyball and last fall became the first player in league history
to be named Most Valuable Player in volleyball three times.
Earlier this summer, she was named the recipient of the MIAA’s Sheila Wallace
Kovalchik Award as the conference’s most outstanding senior female
student-athlete.
