Vann Earns AP All-America Honor
March 20, 2024 | Women's Basketball
NORMAN – Oklahoma senior forward Skylar Vann was named an honorable mention AP All-American on Wednesday afternoon.
Vann, the Big 12 Co-Player of the Year, is the third Sooner in three years to earn All-America honors under head coach Jennie Baranczyk. Oklahoma's three-year streak with an All-America honoree is its longest since it produced an All-American every year from 2005 to 11.
The Edmond, Okla., product won back-to-back Big 12 Sixth Player Awards in 2022 and 2023 before winning the league's top honor this seen en route to a unanimous All-Big 12 first-team selection. Vann posted 15.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game in the regular season and was one of five Power Five players to average 14.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, joining Caitlin Clark (Iowa), JuJu Watkins (USC), Cameron Brink (Stanford) and Grace VanSlooten (Oregon).
The All-America honor is the first for Vann, who has guided Oklahoma to its third straight NCAA Tournament and the program's second straight Big 12 championship. She became the 39th Sooner to eclipse 1,000 career points earlier this season and is the 14th Sooner ever to score 1,300 points and collect 700 rebounds in a career. She joins names like Courtney Paris, Madi Williams, Amanda Thompson, Phylesha Whaley, Dionnah Jackson, Stacey Dales, and others in elite company.
Vann and the fifth-seeded Sooners tip off in the 2024 NCAA Women's Basketball Championship on Saturday at 3 p.m. CT against Florida Gulf Coast in Bloomington, Ind.
