Hall of Fame
Shan was an outstanding member of the Centre track program for four years. She led the team in scoring all four years and was named to the Women’s Intercollegiate Athletic Conference all-conference team all four years. She led the team to two conference championships. She was the conference champion in three events in her junior season, and in her senior season, she was conference champion in five events—the 100- and 200-meter dashes, the 400- and 1600-meter relays, and the high jump—and was runner-up in the javelin. She finished 10th in the nation in the high jump in Division III during her senior year. Shan still holds two school records, with a high jump of 5’ 7’’ and an 800 meter-relay time of 1:53:44. Those are 2 of the 3 longest standing records for the women’s track team. At the time of her graduation, Shan was also a member of the relay teams that held school records for 400 meters, 1600 meters and the 800 medley relay. Shan was also the leading scorer for the Centre women’s soccer team, which was a club sport at that time. At her graduation, she received the Fred M. Vinson Award, chosen by the faculty to honor the most outstanding student in a combination of scholastic, athletic, and extracurricular pursuits.
