Ray Memorial Trophy, given to the varsity swimmer chosen by her teammates and coach as the most valuable member of the squad. Kett once again took home All-America honors in the 400 IM and the 200 Breast in 2011 as a junior. She then capped her career with All-America honors in the 100 and 200 Breast and 200 IM, while taking bronze in the 200 Breast.
