This past year, the word award has become pretty common for reigning national champ and former ISU distance runner Lisa Koll.

Koll has been the recipient of multiple awards this past season, including the Honda Sports Award for Best Track and Field athlete and NCAA Female Track Athlete of the Year.

This past weekend, the Fort Dodge native added two more honors to her already long list of awards.

Koll was named 2010 U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Association outdoor track scholar of the year Thursday.

This was Koll’s second time being named the track scholar of the year. She won the same award in 2008.

Koll, along with two other ISU women‘s track team members, was already named an academic All-American this past summer for track.

One day after being named the USTFCCA scholar of the year, Koll was named the Big 12 Female Athlete of the Year.

The Big 12 also honored Nebraska defensive linemen, Ndamukong Suh by naming him the Big 12 Male Athlete of the Year.

Koll is the first female athlete from Iowa State to win the Big 12 athlete of the year and joins six male ISU athletes as athlete of the year honorees.

Even after being honored twice last week, Koll finds herself in the running to win another award.

By way of fan voting, she could win the Bowerman Award as the nation’s top collegiate female athlete.

The winner will be announced in December, but as of Aug. 3, Koll is leading over Virginia Tech track star Queen Harrison and UTEP long jumper Blessing Okagbare by a large margin.

Harrison is holding on to 33 percent of the votes, and Okagbare has 5 percent of the votes.

Koll now has 6 percent of the votes.

Voting will conclude Aug. 20 with the winner being named in December.
