Supriya Davis Named One Of Top 30 Woman Of The Year Honorees

INDIANAPOLIS--The NCAA Woman of the Year selection committee announced on Thursday that Swarthmore's Supriya Davis ('15) was selected as one of the top 30 honorees for the Woman of the Year Award.

Davis is just one of 10 women from NCAA Division III remaining in the running for the award.

The Woman of the Year Award selection is based on excellence in academics, athletics, community service and leadership.

Davis was a two-time All-American in the 100- and 200-yard butterfly and was undefeated in both events in dual meet and Centennial Conference championship competition. Davis earned the Centennial Conference Most Outstanding Female Performer in 2012 and 2013 and was named to the All-Centennial Conference First Team a staggering 17 times. Davis captured the conference title and set program, conference, and championship marks in four consecutive years as a member of the 200-yard medley relay teams. She holds six individual school records and was also a member of four record-setting relay teams.

Davis, a chemistry and computer science double major from Durham, N.C., also boasts a long list of academic accomplishments. She was named a Capital One Academic All-American in 2014 and made the organization's all-district first team in 2013, 2014, and 2015. A three-time member of the Philadelphia Inquirer Academic All-Area Team, she received additional recognition in 2015 when she was named the newspaper's female at-large performer of the year. She is also the recipient of a 2015 Fulbright U.S. Student Grant, which she is using to research and combat tuberculosis in New Delhi, India.

In addition, Davis has been involved with many service endeavors on and off campus. These have included teaching youth swim lessons, volunteering in a hospice and hospital emergency department, and serving as an academic tutor and chemistry mentor for Swarthmore students. She has also helped lead activities involving art and physical education with Children and Adults with Disabilities Educational Services (CADES).

At the end of September, the NCAA will select three finalists from each division. On Oct. 18, the NCAA will announce the winner in the annual ceremony in Indianapolis.
