The O-Zone Staff has narrowed its Female Athlete of the Year watchlist down to a Top 20. See the full list in alphabetical order below.
As we narrow down our Athletes of the Year there are many considerations that go into our voting process. 18 of the 20 athletes on this list play multiple sports with some playing as many as four sports. Just because a photo is of an athlete playing one sport does not mean that sport was the sole reason for their selection to this Top 20.
We will narrow down to a Top 5 later this week with the announcement of Female Athlete of the Year on the final O-Zone Show of the year Sunday, Jun. 2.
