The Associated Press has named
Candace Parker its top female athlete for 2008. The brief description of her busy year that I gave
last week doesn't do it justice:
She led Tennessee to a second straight national championship in women's basketball, was the first pick in the WNBA draft, took the league's MVP and rookie of the year awards, and helped the U.S. win a fourth-straight Olympic gold medal.
Parker beat out
Lorena Ochoa,
Nastia Liukin,
Dara Torres, and
Shawn Johnson—all of whom had a great year. Still, I was surprised to find
Natalie Coughlin missing from that list; to my mind, Coughlin hasn't received enough recognition for her six medal wins at the Olympics.
