Woman of the Year, Tech Athletics' longest-standing award (first presented in 1991), was bestowed upon women's cross country and indoor track & field's Sarah Brandt. Last year's Female Newcomer of the Year Award winner, Brandt has set multiple school records in her time in a Golden Eagle uniform. Academically, she has been named to the Athletic Director's Honor Roll every semester since she arrived at Tech. Her service to the community has been highly impressive, highlighted by her serving as a Petty Officer Third Class Master at Arms in the United State Naval Reserve and a mission trip to the Dominican Republic last summer.
