Blockton's Senior CLASS profile
Â
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Marquette University senior guard Allazia Blockton has been named one of 30 NCAA Division I women's basketball candidates for the Senior CLASS Award, a prestigious honor that recognizes a senior student-athlete who has notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition.
Â
Blockton, who is also a finalist for the WBCA Wade Trophy award (given to the nation's top player at the end of the season), is the program's first Senior CLASS Award candidate since Krystal Ellis ('09) in 2008.
Â
The Milwaukee native leads the team and the BIG EAST Conference in scoring average at 19.3 points per game this season, which also ranks in the top-50 nationally. She is just 49 points away from breaking Ellis' scoring record of 1,940 points and recently became the program's all-time leader in career field goals made (721).
Â
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School ®, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.Â
Â
Among the 60 combined men's and women's candidates, all are in excellent academic standing with 13 having grade-point averages of 3.5 or higher. Twenty-five athletes are returning to the court this season after receiving All-America honors, and 54 of the candidates earned all-conference honors for their performances a year ago. Each of the candidates also volunteers his or her time with charitable organizations and causes while upholding a reputation for positive character on campus and in the community.
Â
The men's and women's candidates will be narrowed to two fields of 10 finalists in February, and those names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans, who will select one male candidate and one female candidate who best exemplifies excellence in the four C's of community, classroom, character and competition.
Â
The Senior CLASS Award winners will be announced during the 2019 NCAA Men's Final Four® and NCAA Women's Final Four® this spring. For more information on each of the candidates, visit seniorCLASSaward.com.
