The “B” Association is proud to highlight the accomplishments of female letterwinners by selecting a student-athlete to represent Baylor Athletics in the annual Baylor Homecoming Queen competition. Each year, Baylor coaches from all women’s sports are invited to submit the names of young ladies they believe deserve consideration for Homecoming Queen. Then, a special selection committee from the “B” Association selects one individual from the list of nominees to be the official athletic representative in the competition.

“I’m excited for the outstanding young ladies who are fortunate to receive this recognition. They have a unique opportunity to reveal to the entire Baylor family their character, intelligence, poise, and philanthropy – qualities that many people may not know they have,” said “B” Association Executive Director, Walter Abercrombie. “We are proud to announce this year’s athletic representative in the Homecoming Queen competition will be Katie Staiger from Baylor Volleyball.  Katie has been a model student, athlete, and leader during her career at Baylor. I cannot think of a finer candidate for Homecoming Queen.”

“Katie truly captures all aspects of the Senior CLASS Award,” said Head Volleyball Coach, Ryan McGuyre. “Her diligence and commitment to Baylor University, her dedication in training, and her servant-heartedness towards her teammates is a living legacy. She inspires people to be better people whether in athletics, academics, or in business. Despite overcoming a devastating ACL injury, she has become an All-American (Baylor’s first) and graduated on time so she can also complete her Masters.”
