Best hitter in the Olympics!! Should have gotten most inspirational too. Possibly best sportsperson? No, no, and...(wait for it)...no.

It's quite debatable, but she is definitely the best blocker.

She make the "right hit" rather than maybe the hardest hit; Todd Rodgers didn't make the hardest hit, but his risk/reward table of "what hit to do now" was unparalleled...Its the total efficacy not the hardest hit that takes the trophy at Sunday's end...IMHO...

I agree hardest hitter is not the correct criteria, but other than "which candidate sleeps with Casey Jennings" there is no criteria you could possibly employ that makes Kerri the best hitter. She isnt even the best hitter on her own team

Guest2....I just looked at Huntington (I was there) and Hitting percentage Kerri led April (.675 to.579)...Kerri only got 63 kills to April's 72 but April had 25 more attacks...Kerri, by the way only had 3 errors to April's 6, but then again Kerri had few attacks....Hey, I know a sample size of 1, but WAS going to check some other tourneys and overall, but a random search shows Kerri ahead of April...NOW, the disclaimer is I know NOTHING about stat analysis, so I may be way off base, but if there is NO WAY Kerri could be the best hitter, well, at Huntington, 2016, only Whitney was better....

...Checked SF 2016 and April's hitting was .600 v. 2nd place to Walsh .576...not a significant difference IMO...AND Cinci, Walsh way ahead...hmmmmm

Learned a lot about the people of this board knowing they disagree with this award.

So WITH the statistics not agreeing with the "no, no, etc." WHAT is this based on...If kill percentage is up there, whats is the caveat on those stats....No, is not a sentence; well, sometimes, but not now!
