2024年7月11日 - 5:18AM
Husson University student-athlete Kenzie Dore has been named North
Atlantic Conference Woman of the Year, an honor that recognizes
graduating student-athletes who distinguish themselves in academic
achievement, athletic excellence, service and leadership.
Dore, who earned a 4.0 grade point average at Husson, was a
valedictorian of the Class of 2024 and graduated in May with a
master’s in criminal justice administration.
“Kenzie Dore is an outstanding athlete and scholar and we are
thrilled that the North Atlantic Conference has recognized her with
this award. She exemplifies the Husson approach for
student-athletes, which encourages giving it all both on the field
and in the classroom,” said President Lynne Coy-Ogan.
The first Husson woman to earn NAC Woman of the Year, Dore is
now entered into the national pool for the NCAA Woman of the Year
award. The winner of the national award will be named at the NCAA
Convention in January 2025.
"Proud doesn't begin to describe how the Husson community feels
about this tremendous accomplishment. Kenzie Dore is an exemplary
leader who epitomizes what a student-athlete should be. The work
she and her teammates did in leading our softball program to
multiple championships is made more impressive by the numerous
individual accolades she also earned. However, most impressive is
who Kenzie is as a person on and off the field — someone who gives
back to her community and inspires others," said Athletic Director
John Sutyak.
Dore is set to be commissioned into the Maine Army National
Guard as a second lieutenant and a medical service officer. She
will attend a 10-week medical service basic officer leadership
course at Fort Sam Houston in Texas before heading to flight school
at Fort Novosel in Alabama. She plans to become a medical
evaluation pilot and fly UH-60 Blackhawks.
