DENVER – Already one of the most decorated Aggies of all time, former women's basketball star Brooke Salas has been named the Joe Kearney Award winner by the Western Athletic Conference, the league announced Monday. The award is named after former WAC commissioner Joe Kearney and is given annually to the top female and male student-athletes in the conference. Grand Canyon swimmer Mark Nikolaev took home the honor for male student-athletes.
"There are not too many student-athletes like Brooke Salas, she made everyone around her better," said head coach Brooke Atkinson.
