COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado - The National Strength and Conditioning Association and EAS Sports Nutrition have announced redshirt sophomore Tennessee women's basketball player Andraya Carter as a 2015 All-American Athlete Award recipient.
The award recognizes the athletic accomplishments and the dedication to strength and conditioning by the 5-foot-9 guard from Flowery Branch, Ga. (Buford H.S.).
Nominated by Lady Vol basketball strength and conditioning coach Lee Taylor, the NSCA says Carter's determination to improve in athletics while maintaining academic prominence is a great model for all student-athletes at Tennessee.
"We are proud to have Coach Taylor join the NSCA in its mission to safely improve athletic performance," Coach Scott Caulfield, the NSCA's head strength and conditioning coach said. "Supporting our student-athletes like Andraya Carter guarantees a stronger future for the NSCA.
