Pomona-Pitzer Colleges alum Alexandra Turvey was named the NCAA Woman of the Year across all divisions at the NCAA Convention.
Turvey becomes the first winner of the award in SCIAC history.
The Woman of the Year is one of the highest awards given by the NCAA and recognizes student-athletes who are leaders in the classroom, on their team and in their community.
Turvey is a 21-time CSCAA All-American who swam on a pair of national champion relays and finished runner-up in three individual events at the 2024 NCAA Championship. Also a two-time Canadian Olympic Trials qualifier, she earned three SCIAC Women’s Swimmer of the Year honors and currently holds eight SCIAC records. She will be pursuing an eight-year dual-graduate MD-PhD program at Harvard Medical School and MIT, having conducted research in a genomics computational biology lab and at Children’s Hospital. She was the NCAA Elite 90 winner in 2023 - only the second individual in conference history - and was awarded a Walter Byers Graduate Scholarship upon graduation. She was named the College Sports Communicators Academic All-America Team Member of the Year for swimming & diving in 2024.
