Rettke is the first female from UW to win the award since 1997 and the first UW athlete to win either the women’s or men’s award since 2000.
She earned the honor after leading Wisconsin to the national title match last fall and being named first-team All-American for a third-straight year. Rettke was also the 2019 Big Ten Player of the Year.
