The Virginia Cavaliers continued their annual tradition to honor the most prestigious student-athletes across their 25 men’s and women’s sports with the 2023 Hoos Choice Awards. Here are some of the notable winners.
Male Athlete of the Year: Iñaki Montes, Tennis
After being an integral part of UVA’s national championship run in 2022, Montes had another dominant season in the ACC in 2023, earning multiple all-conference honors. He becomes the fifth men’s tennis athlete to win this award and the second in the last three years (Carl Söderlund, 2020-21).
Female Athlete of the Year: Kate Douglass, Swimming and Diving
Douglass will go down as one of the most dominant athletes in UVA history.
