As the summer closes we celebrate our 42-part series by honoring our top 50 Hottest Summer Bods in Sports & Fitness.
In our 42nd installment of "Hot Summer Bods in Women's Sports & Fitness" we have two track athletes who are set to have big years in 2021 as well as a volleyball star that is bound to dominate the competition during her final collegiate season.

Despite the negative news we still find great women to admire. Their greatness will not be denied and their futures are bright, no matter how trying the times may appear.
