The Southwestern College Athletic Hall of Fame inducted five new members Saturday, Oct. 8, in the Roy L. Smith Student Center.  The new members are Keitha Adams, Tony Gray, Lisa Buller-Brummer, Brant Littrell, and Gerald Houser.

Keitha Adams graduated from Southwestern in 1989, and has gone on to lead a very successful career as a collegiate women’s basketball coach. She is about to begin her 15th season as the head women’s basketball coach at the University of Texas-El Paso, where she is the program’s all-time wins leader with a record of 276-186, including four Conference USA Championships, and four NCAA national tournament appearances. She is a three-time Conference USA Coach of the Year award winner, and has been a finalist for the National Coach of the Year

Tony Gray graduated in 1980, and was feared by many in the KCAC during his time as a linebacker for the Moundbuilders during the late 70’s and early 80’s. Known as one of the meanest defensive players in the game, he was an All-KCAC First Team selection, and earned NAIA District 10 First Team recognition, but the highlight of his career came in 1979 when he was named an NAIA All-American linebacker.

Lisa Buller-Brummer graduated in Southwestern in 1995 after a successful cross country and track career. In addition to earning five KCAC Individual track championships, she also won three KCAC individual cross country titles. She went on to become Southwestern’s first NAIA Women’s Cross Country All-American in 1993 and earned the honor again in 1994, and was an NAIA Indoor All-American in the two-mile run in 1994.

Brandt Littrell is a 2004 graduate of Southwestern College, and he will be remembered as one of the most successful athletes in Moundbuilder cross country and track history. Between cross country and track, Brant won nine KCAC individual championships. He went on to become an NAIA Cross Country All-American in 2003, and was a five-time NAIA track All-American, and was a back-to-back NAIA steeplechase champion, winning the event in both 2003 and 2004.

Gerald Houser graduated in 1993 as a decorated member of the Moundbuilder track and field program. He was a six-time KCAC Champion, and a five-time NAIA District 10 champion, and went on to become a five-time NAIA All-American. Houser also produced a pair of school records. He was a member of the 4x400 meter relay team that completed the race in a program-best time of 3:10.25, and his 800 meter record (1:51.02) still stands after more than 25 years.
