MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - West Virginia University women’s basketball guard Bria Holmes was named a finalist for the 2015-16 Senior CLASS Award, as announced by the organization on Thursday.
Presented annually, the award is given to a student-athlete who shows notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition. An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
Holmes is the second Mountaineer finalist for the award, joining Liz Repella, who earned a spot on the Senior CLASS All-America Second Team in 2011.
