Hall of Fame
Ross Kennedy (1994-97) is one of five Raiders to record a pair of top-two finishes at the NAIA Outdoor Championships, and with a little luck could have won a title. His school-record score in the decathlon of 7,418 points was second in 1997 and would have been good for an NAIA championship in all but one other season since 1996. He was a four-time Cascade Conference champ – winning three straight decathlon titles and one in the javelin – and among SOU’s best marks still ranks fifth in the high jump (6 feet 8 inches), fifth in the long jump (23-3 ¾) and third in the javelin since the new rules went into effect (193-0).
