Former Patriot to enter Anderson Hall of Fame
ANDERSON — A former Patriot will forever be honored as a Raven.
Erin Smith, a 2001 Jay County High School graduate, will be inducted into the Anderson University Athletic Hall of Fame.
Smith was a four-time Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference all-conference honoree, and was the individual tournament champion during the 2004 season. She claimed the latter honor on the first hole of a playoff.
In the spring of 2005, Smith qualified for the NCAA Division III Women’s Golf Championship, becoming the first Raven to accomplish the feat. Smith ended that season tied for 44th in the nation.
Smith joins Larry Davy and Jerry Helvey as 2019 Hall of Fame inductees. The ceremony will take place Oct. 19.
