FERRUM, Va. – Elon University head softball coach
Kathy Bocock, a former multi-sport student-athlete at Ferrum College, is one of six individuals slated to be inducted into the school's Alumni Hall of Fame Class of 2020.
Â
"When the new athletic director at Ferrum College (John Sutyak) had called me and asked if I would accept being inducted into the Hall of Fame, I was very humbled," said Bocock. "Over the years, there've been a lot of people that have gone into the Hall of Fame at Ferrum so I was very excited when I was offered. For me to be in the class of 2020 with the other named inductees, I am humbled and honored to join them."
Â
Bocock played three sports at Ferrum from 1981-83: basketball two years, and softball and volleyball one year each. She was named the Co-Female Athlete of the Year in 1982-83 and served as a captain of the basketball team when Ferrum was a junior college. After a year on the basketball team at Radford, Bocock returned to Ferrum (then as a four-year school) and earned her bachelor's degree in recreation and leisure studies in 1986.
Â
With the coronavirus pandemic, Ferrum will delay holding an in-person induction ceremony until a safe and suitable date can be determined.
