Palumbo won her first national accolade following a dominating performance at the Missouri Valley Open last Saturday.
The junior, who is ranked #1 in the NAIA at 109 pounds, won all four of her bouts, including two by technical fall with a combined score of 23-1. She pinned one opponent as well. In the championship match, Palumbo defeated NCAA Division I foe Ava Bayless of Iowa 2-1.
A two-time tournament champion this year, she is now 8-0 with six technical falls and one fall to her credit.
The national award is the first in program history.
