HANOVER, Ind. - Former standouts Mackenzie Dye Conley '15, Gary Fricke '77, and K.C. Reynolds DeBra '05 were inducted into the Hanover Athletic Hall of Fame on Saturday as part of a special ceremony celebrating Hall of Fame Day.
 
"What an incredible day honoring three fantastic individuals. Mackenzie, Gary, and K.C. were all so deserving of this great honor. We are thankful for their contributions to Hanover College Athletics and paving the way for student-athletes to come," praised Vice President for Athletics, Mark Shook.
 
Mackenzie Dye Conley '15 (Cross Country, Track & field)
A four-time all-Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference honoree in cross country, Conley posted three top-seven finishes in the league meet. In track, she was a two-time HCAC champion in the outdoor 10,000 meters, winning titles in 2012 and 2014, and earned the conference's 5,000-meter indoor crown in 2014 with a record-setting performance (18:14.86).

Gary Fricke '77 (Football)
A four-year starter at offensive tackle on the football team squad, Fricke helped the Panthers post four consecutive Hoosier-Buckeye Collegiate Conference championships and set the school record with 28 straight regular-season victories. He was a second-team all-American in 1976 and earned all-district and all-league honors as a junior and senior. He also wrestled for one season - during his junior year - and helped the Panthers post a 10-2-1 overall record.

K.C. Reynolds DeBra '05 (Women's Soccer) 
A two-time all-Heartland Conference honoree, DeBra ranks among the top goal scorers in Hanover's women's soccer history. She totaled a then-record 48 career goals from 2001-04. She set the Panthers' single-season mark with 14 goals as a sophomore, then followed with 21 goals during the 2003 season. That fall, she was named the HCAC's player of the year.
 
Hanover's Athletic Hall of Fame, started in 1995, recognizes individuals who have served the College's athletic program with distinction, either by virtue of their performance as a coach, team member, or by meritorious efforts on behalf of athletics, as an undergraduate or in years after leaving the institution. The Hall of Fame currently honors more than 150 members who have left their mark on Hanover Athletics.
