Chris Greco - Football 1993
Chris Greco was team captain of the Tigers' 1991 NAIA National Championship team and was named a NAIA All-American at defensive end that season. Finishing with a 13-1 record, Greco's defense held its opponent to 20 points or less 9 times and created numerous turnovers that led Tiger offense to be one of the most profilic in NAIA history. He currently ranks 10th in program history with 47 tackles for loss and 245 yards in his career. Greco's 26.5 sacks stand as 8th best, as does the 172 yards from those sacks he accumulated from 1990-93.
Emily Kerrick Meador - Women's Tennis 2009
Emily Kerrick (Meador) was one of the most well-rounded and dominant players in Georgetown Tennis history. Arriving at Georgetown in the fall of 2005, Kerrick immediately made a name for herself by winning the NAIA Southeast Regional Doubles Championship with fellow 2024 Hall of Famer, Sarah Yost. Kerrick would go on to receive 1st Team All-MSC honors in both singles and doubles in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. In 2008, she was ranked as high as #25 in the NAIA in singles and was part of a team that got as high as #14 in the national rankings. Kerrick capped her career in 2009 by being named the ITA Region 3 Senior Player of the Year. Kerrick and Yost were key pieces in the 2008 team becoming the 1st in school history to receive an at-large bid to the NAIA National Tournament.
Kimberly Ingle Sellick - Women's Basketball 2008
Kimberly Ingle Sellick proved herself one of the all-time greats in Georgetown Women's Basketball in the mid-2000s. She remains one of the few four-year starters in program history and with that came a number of marks in the record books. She still stands as the all-time career leader in steals with 328, including a record 97 in a single season. Her 1,746 career points still stand as 3rd most all-time and 159 made 3-pointers are 6th most. She was named All-MSC 4 times, taking home MSC Player of the Year and NAIA All-American honors in 2006. The excellence carried into the classroom where Sellick was a 3-time MSC Scholar-Athlete and a 2-time NAIA Scholar-Athlete.
Brian Silverhorn - Men's Basketball 2007
Brian Silverhorn left his mark on the court as one of the greatest guards in Georgetown Men's Basketball history. From 2003-07, he was a leader on teams that carried a combined record of 113-27. Never averaging fewer than 14 PPG in all 4 years, Silverhorn was the team's leading scorer his final 3 years as a Tiger. It coincided with a NAIA Honorable Mention All-American nod in 2005, and 2nd team honor in 2006, and 1st Team All-American honors in 2007. He is 1 of only 12 Tigers to surpass 2000 career points and won 7 NAIA tournament games in his career. His best performance came in a February 2007 win over West Virginia Tech, in which Silverhorn scored 41 points. He shot 12-16 from the field, 7-8 from beyond the arc and 10-11 at the foul line. It proved to be a key win in Georgetown's run to an undefeated Mid-South Conference title. In total, Silverhorn finished with 5 30-point games and 43 20-point games.
Sarah Yost - Women's Tennis 2009
Sarah Yost was also part of a dominant run for Georgetown Tennis in the mid-2000s. Partnering with fellow 2024 HOF inductee, Emily Kerrick, the pair reached a peak of #12 in the NAIA doubles rankings in the fall of 2005. They won the NAIA Southeast Regional Doubles Championship that same season. Yost continued that stellar play in doubles as she was named 1st Team All-MSC in 2006 and 2007 and garnered Honorable Mention in 2008 and 2009. As a single, Yost was even more dominant. She earned 1st Team All-MSC four times and was named a NAIA All-American 3 times. Her all-around work on and off the court also garnered special recognition. Yost was a 2-time NAIA Academic All-American, part of the NAIA's 1st National Champions of Character Team Award for Women's Tennis, and in 2009, she received the ITA Region 3 Arthur Ashe Award for Character and Leadership.
Dr. Eric Chumbley - Distinguished Alumni 1990
Dr. Eric Chumbley is the recipient of this year's Distinguished Alumni award. Dr. Chumbley was a critical piece of the modern renaissance of Tiger football from 1988-90. That 3-year run saw the Tigers amass a combined record of 23-8-1 and set the stage for Georgetown's run to the 1991 National Championship and run of NAIA dominance that has not slowed down since. After graduating in 1990, Dr. Chumbley began a long and decorated career serving in the United States Air Force. He has been a leader of the Division of Aerospace Medicine and overseen special operations, with numerous earned awards over his service time.
1999 Football Team
Georgetown's 1999 Football Team proved one of the best and most dominant in NAIA history and set the stage as the 1st of 4 consecutive national championship game appearances. Led by NAIA Hall of Famer Bill Cronin, the offense scored over 50 points 8 times, while the defense held its opponent to less than 10 points in 7 games. The Tigers finished the season scoring a staggering 710 points and only allowed 236 in 14 games. Walt DeLong, Eddie Eviston, Frank Parks, and Shane Pearson were all named NAIA 1st Team All-Americans. The Tigers' offense was nearly impossible to plan for as it was elite in the air and on the ground. It finished the year with 4,386 passing yards (most in school history) and 3,789 rushing yards (2nd most in school history). The peak point came in the playoff semifinals when Georgetown crushed defending national champions, Azusa Pacific, 66-35, on their home field in California. The Tigers racked up 619 yards on offense, including 425 rushing yards, and did not punt until midway through the 4th quarter.
