New Orleans — Kansas University long- and triple-jumper Andrea Geubelle was named the nation’s female athlete of the year, the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association announced Tuesday.
Geubelle won titles in both events at the recent NCAA Indoor Championships. Teammate Diamond Dixon earned the honor last season.
“This is definitely the cherry on top of everything that’s happened in the last week,” Geubelle said. “I worked hard for it and that hard work is paying off. For Diamond to get it last year and me to win this year has shown how far our program has come and how well we’re doing on a national level.”

Amazing. Congrats Andrea! You and Diamond and the entire team are not getting enough love for what you are accomplishing. They should have a parade for you all after the season, right down Mass.

Incredible!
You think this would garner more ink than a simple "staff report," but well-deserved recognition either way!

Andrea, I've been reading about your accomplishments for years. Thank you for all your hard work and bringing KU Track back to greatness. You are very deserving of this award. I will be taking my kids to watch you at the Texas Relays. And FYI, a lot of KU track and field athletes from the 70's will be at the KU Relays to watch you there too!
