2004 Female Professional Athlete of the Year

Cindy Parlow

One of Tennessee's most talented soccer players, Memphis native Cindy Parlow had quite a season in 2003. She is the youngest player ever to win both an Olympic gold medal and a Women's World Cup title.

 

She is already among the top 10 goal scorers in U.S. Women's National Team history. And last year, while playing for the U.S. National team, she scored 4 goals in one game (her first 4-goal game for team USA) against England on May 17.

Parlow is a founding player in the WUSA for the Atlanta Beat. In 2003, she helped the Beat to the Founders Cup Championship match. As a matter of note, a street (Cindy Parlow Drive) has been named in her honor in her hometown of Memphis.
