Ripon College Athletics

Linda Secor-Mehoke is the first woman to be inducted into the Ripon College Athletic Hall of Fame. Beginning with the first women’s varsity sports program at Ripon in 1976, Secor competed in volleyball, basketball and track, and earned an “R” letter in each sport during each season she competed, for a total of nine letters. As a senior, she established a Wisconsin Independent Colleges-Women’s Athletic Conference record in the 400-meter hurdles and Ripon College records in the 440-yard dash, 400-meter hurdles, and with three teammates, the 880-yard relay. An outstanding student as well as athlete, her college career was capped off with the prestigious Ripon College S.N. Pickard Award at the end of her senior year.
