Jayne among Glamor magazine's Top 10 College Women of 2009

Jayne was named as one of Glamor magazine's Top 10 College Women of 2009 in this month's issue. She was the only athlete among the group of budding leaders in various fields.

This is the magazine's description of Jayne:

Her dream: To play for the WNBA.
How she’s making it happen:As captain of the Stanford Cardinal team, Appel devotes about seven hours a day to basketball, and it shows. An All-American, she led her team to the Final Four the past two seasons. The 6’4” center grew up in the San Francisco Bay area shooting hoops with her three brothers. “I was a tagalong sister and wanted to do whatever they were doing,” she says. Off the court, Appel was inspired by a family member who suffers from mental illness to do advocacy work on the issue and volunteer for a support group. The psychology major plans to graduate early so she can prepare for the WNBA and expects to pursue a career in mental health advocacy.
Embarrassing moment: “Air-balling a free throw on national television.”
Can’t live without: “My flip-flops—I’m a California girl.”

This is the article that describes all 10 winners.
