WARRENSBURG, Mo. -- Former Central Missouri Jennies Track & Field standout Lindsay Lettow was honored by the Missouri State Senate on Friday, April 12 for her outstanding athletic and academic career at UCM as well as being named one of the NCAA Today's Top 10 Award winners. State Senator David Pearce of District 21 presented Lettow with her resolution at the UCM Multipurpose Building on Friday morning.

Lettow (Urbandale, Iowa/Des Moines Christian) was honored as an NCAA Today's Top Award Winner at the NCAA Convention in January. The NCAA Today's Top 10 recognizes 10 student-athletes who completed their athletics eligibility during the 2011-12 academic year for their success on the fields and courts, in the classroom, and in the community.

She finished her stellar career as a four-time national champion and 16-time All-American. She became just the third student-athlete in MIAA history to win the Ken B. Jones Award two times as the conference's top female student-athlete. She was a four-time United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches' Association Field Athlete of the Year and won the Dr. Peggy Martin Award as Central Missouri's top female senior student-athlete. She made the Dean's List at UCM every semester and graduated with a 3.84 GPA in psychology and was awarded a prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship, one of only 29 female student-athletes in the country to be awarded the scholarship from the 2011-12 winter season. She was also named the NCAA Division II Female Scholar Athlete of the Year for the 2011-12 academic year.

She was an active member of the Central Missouri Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, the Mules and Jennies Literacy Team, volunteered at nursing and veterans homes in Warrensburg and continues to sing the national anthem at UCM sporting events.
