Here's an update on Jillian's Senior Class Award Campaign... 

We've had over 1,000 views of our "Daily Pix for a Daily Click" voting campaign for the Senior Class Award over the last 12 days!  (Read more about the Senior Class Award here.)  Everyone is enjoying the photos of Jillian Alleyne over her four year UO WBB career. 

Thanks to your support Jillian's vote numbers are staying stable but we need to do more to give her the visibility she deserves!  The big 3 nominees — Breanna Stewart, Moriah Jefferson (UConn) and Ruth Hamblin (OSU) — are also keeping their numbers stable... at over 20% of the vote!  Ouch!  We've got some catching up to do.  Can you help?

Facebook and Twitter views and 'Likes' are great but
we need SHARES and RETWEETS
to get Jillian's numbers up
before voting ends on 3/21!

The award program is designed exclusively for college seniors who are utilizing their complete athletic eligibility, remaining committed to their university and pursuing the many rewards a senior season can bring. The award is managed by Premier Sports Management. Award winners are determined by a selection process that includes NCAA Division I college coaches in each respective sport, national media and fans. Public fan voting on the Senior CLASS Award website takes place each year during the month leading up to the NCAA Championship.
