PAC-12 SCHOLAR-ATHLETES OF THE YEAR

SAN FRANCISCO – Stanford's Hannah Jump has been named the Pac-12 Women’s Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year for the 2022-23 season. The award is presented in each of the 24 sports sponsored by the Pac-12 and was established to honor collegiate student-athletes that are standouts both academically and in their sports discipline.

A psychology major with a 3.75 GPA, Jump has started all 31 games for the Cardinal this season. The Pac-12 leader, she is tied for fourth nationally with 92 3-pointers made and also tops the Conference and is 11th in the country in 3-pointers per game (2.97). She has increased her averages in scoring, assists and minutes in each of her four years on The Farm and surpassed the 1,000 career point milestone in the regular-season finale at Utah.

She currently is fourth in program history and ninth in Pac-12 history with 275 career 3-pointers made. A 44.0-percent shooter from deep this season, which is 11th in the country, her .420 career 3-point percentage would be third all-time at Stanford. The Cardinal is 46-2 the past four years when Jump scores in double figures.

A two-time Pac-12 Academic Honor Roll recipient, Jump was named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District team for the first time last week and advances to the All-America ballot, where first‐, second- and third‐team Academic All‐America honorees will be announced in mid‐March.

Jump is the seventh Pac-12 Women’s Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year from Stanford, joining Lexie Hull (2021-22), Alanna Smith (2018-19), Brittany McPhee (2017-18), Chiney Ogwumike (2013-14), Kayla Pedersen (2010-11) and Jayne Appel (2009-10).
