from Georgetown College Alumni Magazine | Spring 2022

Founder's Day

Several Georgetown College athletic teams and individuals shone the spotlight on the College at the national level during the 2021-22 season.

Two football players were named AllAmericans in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) by the American Football Coaches Association. Davalin “D.J.” White, ’22, was named to the All American First Team in his defensive position and Marcus Omosule, ’24, also defense, was named to the All American Second Team.

The men’s basketball team won the Mid-South Conference (MSC) Championships for the 12th time in the team’s history. While falling in the first round of NAIA Championship Tournament, they ended the season with an impressive 25-8 season record. The women’s team was runner-up in the conference championships and earned a slot in the national championships, though they also were defeated in the first round. Their record was 22-12.

The men’s volleyball team quickly made a name for themselves in just their second season as Tigers by winning the MSC Championships. In the first match of the NAIA Championships in which they were ranked 14th, they came from behind to upset a third-ranked team but lost in the next match. Their season ended with a 28-6 record.

In just their fourth season as a varsity program, the coed cheerleading squad won the MSC Championships for the second year in a row. In the national meet they were ninth out of 15 teams.

In women’s track and field, Sarah Bolton, ’23, broke several Tiger records this spring and won the heptathlon event at the MSC Championship Meet. She qualified for the NAIA Championship Meet in heptathlon and in high jump. Jalynn Landversicht, ’23, also qualified in high jump. "D.J." White, '22
