LINCOLN — Nebraska’s Kelsey Griffin was named one of 30 candidates for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS award on Wednesday, honoring women’s basketball players across the nation who excel both on and off the court.

To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence — classroom, character, community and competition.

Griffin is a two-time first-team All-Big 12 selection. The 6-foot-2 forward from Eagle River, Alaska, enters her senior season as the Big 12 Conference’s No. 3 active scorer (1,348 points) and top active career rebounder (665).
