Steve Hudson glances around the room. He is surrounded by greatness. There are three more floors above him with the same thing – hundreds of display cases that hold pieces of history, artifacts belonging to icons and legends.
As he stands next to his own display at the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, Hudson feels out of place.
“It was hard to believe,” he said of receiving the news of his enshrinement into the ASHOF. “Even when they called me, I couldn’t say anything. I didn’t feel worthy.”
Celebrating A Century of NCAA Track & Field Championships
UGA’s Torrence Made NCAA History With Double
It was finally Gwen Torrence’s time in the spotlight.
The Georgia senior was looking for her first title at the 1987 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, having been runner-up in the 100 and 200 meters the year before.
Torrence got two.
In both races, Torrence was also looking to avenge recent losses, having finished third in the 100 and second in the 200 at the SEC Outdoor Championships three weeks earlier.
Goal No. 1 was accomplished in Friday evening’s 200 final. Alabama’s Lillie Leatherwood lined up one lane inside of Torrence, who needed to improve her curve running from the SEC race where Leatherwood’s 22.38 beat Torrence’s 22.49.
