The class of 2014:

He repeated the feat again in his final year, this time placing fifth at nationals.
Lisa Miller was a three-year member of the Penn College softball team. As a freshman, she helped the Lady Wildcats capture their first-ever conference championship. As a sophomore, Miller was an offensive leader, being named an All-Conference selection after batting an impressive .390 with 20 RBIs and 30 runs scored.

Andy Richardson was the first men’s soccer coach in Penn College history. From 1994 to 2004, his team’s amassed an impressive 105-50-10 (.667) overall record, won two conference championships and had seven postseason appearances. He was a two-time Coach of the Year selection whose teams’ legacies live on, holding 11 school records.
