Incoming Lady Hilltopper Whitney Creech has been named the 2016 Female Athlete of the Year by the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame. The freshman is the all-time leading scorer in Kentucky high school basketball history.
During her career at Jenkins High School Creech poured in 5,527 points. She led the nation in scoring in her final two seasons with the Lady Cavaliers averaging 42 points a game as a junior and 50.3 points a game as a senior.
Creech was also named the 14th Region Player of the Year and was a finalist for Miss Kentucky Basketball 2016.
Creech will join fellow WKU signees Malaka Frank and Sarah Price in the annual Kentucky All-Star Game on June 12th. That will be the first time in four years that WKU has had three players selected in the same season.
