Every athlete has a dream to win a championship or score a game-winning goal and that was Kelley Bahn’s dream in college. 
 
The Tallahassee native came to UWF in 2011 and immediately started turning heads. She was named the Gulf South Conference Freshman of the Year after finishing in seventh at the championship meet.
 
From there, she went on to earn First Team All-GSC honors all four years, was named the 2014 GSC Runner of the Year, and secured First Team All-South Regional honors every season.
 
She is still the UWF record holder in both the 5k and 6k distances, holding multiple spots in the top 10 of each category.
 
She put the cherry on top of her career by winning the 2014 NCAA South Regional title and advancing to the national championship meet.
 
She was named a unanimous First Team All-Decade selection for the 2010s and is currently the assistant director of student accessibility resources at UWF.
 
We are honored to induct Kelley Bahn as the fourth women’s cross country member into the Athletics Hall of Fame.
