FAIRFAX, Va. – Austin Peay State University women's tennis redshirt junior Jana Leder has been named the recipient of the 2023 Intercollegiate Tennis Association Ohio Valley Regional Arthur Ashe Leadership & Sportsmanship Award.

Throughout her career in Clarksville, Leder has combined for a 62-19 singles and 53-17 doubles record, with her achieving a career-best 24 wins in both singles and doubles play during the 2022-23 campaign. She has earned First Team All-Conference honors during each of her three full playing seasons and was the 2021 Ohio Valley Conference Freshman of the Year.

Leder also has shown excellence off the court, where she has been an ITA Scholar-Athlete twice, named to the OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll twice and garnered All-ASUN Academic Team honors this season. The Remchingen, Germany native also has been named to the Dean's List seven times in her career and has earned two Ohio Valley Regional ITA Community Service awards and two honorable mentions.
