Overland Park, Kan.—San José State senior softball infielder Cassidy Clark is one of 30 NCAA softball student-athletes who have been selected as candidates for the 2020 Senior CLASS Award® for collegiate softball.

The 30 candidates will be narrowed to 10 finalists later in the season, and those 10 names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans, who will select one candidate who best exemplifies excellence in the four Cs of community, classroom, character and competition.
