COLUMBIA, Ky. -- The Lindsey Wilson College Athletics Hall of Fame scheduled for Saturday, October 2, 2021 has been postponed. A makeup date will be announced later in October.
With the tragic passing of Lindsey Wilson athletics administrative assistant Beth Boisvert on Sunday and her funeral schedule for Saturday, athletics department personnel, with the blessing of the hall of fame inductees, decided to postpone to a later date.
“Everyone in the athletics department is heartbroken over the loss of our dear friend,” Lindsey Wilson athletics director Willis Pooler said. “It is important to us to be able to attend her funeral and pay our respects to Beth and her family.
“I would like to thank our hall of fame inductees for their understanding and willingness to postpone our event,” Pooler added. “This is the highest honor we can bestow on a student-athlete and there should be nothing but a celebratory atmosphere. With Beth’s passing, it is difficult right now to celebrate. Again, thank you to our inductees and their families and friends for understanding.”
Krista Burton, Terran Duncan, and Tyler Sharpe were announced as the 20th Lindsey Wilson College Athletics Hall of Fame class in mid-August. Click here to read more about the 2021 LWC Athletics Hall of Fame Class.
