BENTONVILLE, Ark. – SWOSU Softball juniors Jadyn Hook and Maddie Rahon were named to All-Great American Conference teams on Wednesday night, announced at the league's awards banquet preceding the GAC Tournament. Hook was placed on the second team selection while Rahon was named an honorable mention.  
 
Hook (Tishomingo, Okla.) picks up all-conference honors in her first year as a Bulldog. She led the team in batting average, at-bats, runs scored, hits, and on base percentage. She also proved to be one of the best hitters in the league, ranking third in the GAC in hits and fifth in batting average. At one point this season, Hook rode a 16-game hitting streak. The Murray State transfer was a symbol of consistency for the team, starting in all 49 contests in 2024.  
 
Rahon (Placentia, Calif.) earns a second-straight honorable mention selection. Her clutch hitting was evident all year for the Dawgs. She ranked first on the team in both RBIs and doubles. Her 11 doubles ranked fifth in the conference this season. On March 1 against Southeastern Oklahoma State, Rahon notched her first multi-home run game at SWOSU. She hit two home runs and batted in a career high five runs as well. 

Hook, at second base, and Rahon, at shortstop, also turned the most double plays in the league this season.
