"Jenay has been a pleasure to coach," commented Austin Dyer, head coach.  "She is extremely humble and just shows up every day ready to compete and works to get better. I know Jenay will be extremely nervous about accepting this award because she does not like having the spotlight on her whatsoever, but that is what makes her a great athlete to coach and a great and well-respected teammate."
