Three former all-America student-athletes who are making an impact in their postgraduate careers are the newest members of the Central College Athletics Hall of Honor.
A two-sport all-American as a football defensive back and track and field sprinter, Andrew Paulsen ’98, will be inducted along with all-America track and field sprinter Tony Brownlee ‘02 and the college’s only Honda Division III female athlete of the year, softball pitcher Libby Hysell Carlton ’03.
A banquet for the honorees is set for 6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 28 in the Harry and Bernice Vermeer Banquet Hall in the Graham Conference Center while the induction will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 29 in the Schipper Fitness Center lobby. Both events are open to the public.
Established in 2002, Central’s hall of honor is intended to recognize those who were exceptional performers in the athletics arena as a student-athlete, coach or administrator, and who have distinguished themselves in life after graduation through service and leadership. To be eligible for consideration, a nominee must have graduated or served as a Central coach/administrator at least 15 years earlier. Current Central staff members are typically not considered. This year’s inductions will raise the hall’s membership level to 57.
