2017 Women's Track & Field Athlete of the Year

Tyler, a sophomore from Henderson, Nev., did it all at the CCC Championships, where she was in on four titles and a fifth all-conference performance – setting a new meet record in the 100 (11.87), winning the 200, placing third in the 400 as a wild card, helping the Raider 4x100 team to a new meet record (47.07) and their 4x400 team to another victory. Tyler had a hand in 46 total points, putting the Raiders in second place for the first time since 2005, and was named the female track athlete of the meet. At the NAIA Outdoor Championships, she was an All-American with her sixth-place 4x100 teammates and took 14th in the 100.

Other nominees for female track & field athlete of the year included Eastern Oregon’s Harley McBride and Northwest Christian’s Bailey Dell.
