Colohan chosen as a finalist for the 2021 Senior CLASS Award

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — BYU senior midfielder Mikayla Colohan has been selected as a finalist for the 2021 Senior CLASS Award, one of the most prestigious awards in college athletics.

The finalists were chosen by a selection committee from the list of 30 men’s candidates and 30 women’s candidates announced earlier in the season.

Nationwide fan voting begins immediately to help select the winner, and fans are encouraged to vote on the Senior CLASS Award website now through Nov. 22. Fan votes will be combined with media and Division I head coaches’ votes to determine the winner. Fans can come back as many times as they'd like throughout the voting period to vote.

The Senior CLASS Award winner will be announced during the 2021 NCAA Men’s and Women’s College Cup championships in December.
