KIM JAMISON (track & field; 1981, '83-85)
Jamison, a Toledo native, had set the BGSU school records in no fewer than seven events by the time she finished her collegiate career. As a freshman in 1981, she was a member of the 880-yard relay team that qualified for the indoor AIAW national championship meet. In the outdoor MAC championships that year, Jamison won both the 100- and 200-meter dashes, and was on the winning 400-meter relay team, helping BGSU take the team title. She advanced to the semifinals in the 200 at the AIAW National Outdoor Championships.
After sitting out the track season in 1982, and finishing second in the 200 meters at the MAC meet in '83, Jamison came back in 1984 to win both the 100 and 200 at the MAC meet. At the conclusion of her career, she held the outdoor school records in the 100- and 200-meter events, and was part of the school's record-setting 400-meter relay team. Additionally, Jamison held the 55-meter and 300-yard indoor marks, while also being a member of the 800- and 880-meter relay teams that set the school indoor records.
The 2008 class of inductees, the 45th class in history, brings membership in the Athletic Hall of Fame to 211. The 1983-84 national championship hockey team is also in the Hall of Fame.
