The University of Jamestown named Kimberly (Torrey) Roth ’92, Brequan Tucker ’16, the 2014-15 women’s basketball team and the 2014 women’s volleyball team to its 2026 Athletic Hall of Fame class on June 25. The inductees will be recognized during the Hall of Fame ceremony tied to Homecoming 2026, scheduled for Oct. 9-11 on campus.

Roth was a two-time NAIA All-American in the heptathlon, finished sixth at the NAIA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in both 1989 and 1990, and competed in 15 different track and field events during her career. She was a 10-time conference and district champion, earned Most Valuable Athlete honors at the 1989 conference and district outdoor championships, and received NAIA Scholar-Athlete honors. More than three decades after graduation, Roth still ranks in the university’s top 10 in the heptathlon, high jump, long jump, 100-meter hurdles and 400-meter hurdles.

Tucker finished his three-season career with 1,776 points and a 20.4 points-per-game average, numbers that rank second in University of Jamestown men’s basketball history. Tucker was a two-time NAIA Third Team All-American and a former North Star Athletic Association Player of the Year, and he helped lead the Jimmies to two conference championships and three consecutive winning seasons.

The 2014-15 women’s basketball team and the 2014 women’s volleyball team join the hall. The Athletic Hall of Fame honors coaches, standout athletes, distinguished graduates and supporters who made significant contributions to University of Jamestown athletics, and nominations can be submitted by anyone except the nominee.

Hall of Fame plaques are displayed in a kiosk inside Harold Newman Arena, with duplicate plaques donated by the Jimmie Booster Club. The university’s award structure also includes the Rollie Greeno Award, established in 1994 to honor Coach Rollie Greeno’s service at Jamestown College, and the Jim Clark Award.
