The Katrina McClain Award is annually given to the top power forward in the country, and Central Michigan's Reyna Frost is on the watch list. 

In the 2017-18 season, Frost started all 35 games, averaging 13.7 points. She led the Mid-American Conference with 11.9 rebounds per game – ranked fourth in CMU single-season history. 

Frost registered double-digit rebounds in 23 games, owning 18 double-doubles. Five of those 18 occurred in postseason play. She was voted Second-Team All-MAC and earned the MAC Tournament Most Valuable Player award as well.
