The first All-American in program history and the first Elon athletics female to receive All-American laurels at the Division I level, Tomeka Watson concluded her career as Phoenix’s all-time career leader in a pair of categories. She is the school-record career leader in hits (258) and runs (161) while also ranking second in career batting average (.337), home runs (34), RBI (125) and stolen bases (100).
As a freshman, the Marietta, Ga., native was named the SoCon Freshman of the Year in 2010 while helping the Phoenix win a school-record 38 games. Elon would go on to capture the SoCon Tournament title to earn its first berth to the NCAA Tournament. Watson was a four-time All-SoCon honoree culminating with her first team honors as a senior in 2013 after she led the conference in five categories including batting average (.419), slugging percentage (.768), on-base percentage (.511), hits (65) and stolen bases (25). She also tied a then-NCAA record with a home run in six straight games. Watson would also become a 2013 National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Mideast All-Region first team selection which led to her becoming a third team All-American by the NFCA.
