Fifteen honorees and only two are women.  Really?

They couldn't find anyone from a national championship women's water polo team?

Yvonne, I don't think that the SAA award is limited to student athletes.  According to the announcement, there were 103 honorees from the class of 2012.  Of those 103, 15 are student-athletes.  Congratulations to all of the Award of Excellence recipients!

It still seems uneven to me.  Only two female athletes distinguished themselves "through involvement, leadership, and extraordinary Stanford spirit," while thirteen male athletes did?

Cool to see Tyrone McGraw on the list as an apparently graduating senior. Looks like he took the six-year plan, but that matters not (except to the debt collectors). Congrats to McGraw and everyone on the list.
