DURHAM, N.C. ? The 2009 Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award has named its individual winner and All-Senior All-America team based on voting results of the 10 finalists. Duke senior Abby Waner was named to the second team All-America squad along with Jada Frazier (New Orleans), Rachel Galligan (Eastern Illinois), Koren Schram (Dartmouth) and Takia Starks (Texas A&M).
Oklahoma senior Courtney Paris was named the 2009 winner, while the first team senior All-America team consisted of Paris, Shalee Lehning (Kansas State), Renee Montgomery (Connecticut), Kristi Toliver (Maryland) and Christina Wirth (Vanderbilt).
Waner, who is a product of Highlands Ranch, Colo., concluded her collegiate career as one of the top three-point shooters in Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) history. A 5-11 guard, Waner registered 222 career treys over four years to rank 12th on the ACC charts and first in the Blue Devil history books. She became the first Duke player and eighth ACC player to register 45 or more three-pointers in four consecutive years.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award has grown into the nation’s premier tribute to college seniors. The award identifies personal qualities that define a complete student-athlete, with criteria including excellence in the “4 C’s” of classroom, community, character and competition.
Her 691 career three-pointers attempted ranks seventh in ACC history and first at Duke. Not only did Waner hit three-pointers, but she was a great all-around student-athlete as she became the fifth player in ACC history to notch over 1,400 points, 400 rebounds, 400 assists and 300 steals. Waner was also a two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District selection.
A two-time Naismith National Player of the Year candidate, Waner received the 2009 Robin Roberts/WBCA Broadcasting Scholarship and was a finalist for the Lowe’s Senior Class Award in 2009. She is a three-time All-ACC Tournament first team selection. As a senior, Waner averaged 9.7 points, 3.5 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 2.7 steals, while registering 55 three-pointers made.
