Hallie Christofferson added her name to another national award preseason list Wednesday.

The senior forward for the ISU women’s basketball team was named to the John R. Wooden Award Preseason Top 30, the Los Angeles Athletic Club announced. The Wooden Award is given to the nation’s best player at the conclusion of the season.

Christofferson, a native of Hamlin, Iowa, was already named a unanimous All-Big 12 preseason selection as well as a preseason honorable mention All-American. She joined Oklahoma’s Aaryn Ellenberg and Baylor’s Odyssey Sims as the only Big 12 players on the Wooden Award list.

Last season as a junior, Christofferson led Iowa State in field goal percentage (.516), 3-point percentage (.401), free-throw percentage (.862) and points per game (15.6).
