Haley Clark, who just completed her senior season on the UGA women’s basketball team, has been named the 2018 Arthur Ashe Jr. Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
More than 1,000 student-athletes from across the country were nominated for the Arthur Ashe Jr. Award, with one female and one male taking top honors. Blaise Taylor from Arkansas State is the 2018 Arthur Ashe Jr. Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
The award was created for student-athletes who best exemplify the highest standards of scholarship, athleticism and humanitarianism.
Clark has started every game—a span of 64-straight contests—over the past two seasons while beginning a master’s degree. The Orlando, Florida, native graduated with a bachelor’s degree in finance in just three years and earned the SEC’s 2018 Scholar Athlete of the Year award for her efforts off the court.
Clark is currently pursuing her master’s degree in financial planning at UGA.
