At the time of her induction, Andrea (Wildrick) Hampson owned more NCAA Division I All-America honors than any other female student-athlete in the storied history of the Liberty track & field program.
Hampson became the program’s first-ever female competitor to win All-America honors at the NCAA Division I level in 2000 with a ninth-place finish at the outdoor national championship in the pole vault. She also earned All-America honors in the same discipline in 2002 at the NCAA National Indoor Track Championship (tied for fourth place) and Outdoor Track Championship (second place). Following her graduation in 2002, no other Lady Flame track & field athlete came within a foot of breaking her indoor and outdoor pole vaulting records for more than two decades.
The native of Mechanicsville, Va., was a three-time member of Liberty’s 100-point club and joins fellow Liberty Athletics Hall of Fame honoree Heather (Sagan) Zealand as one of the program’s two female performers with top two finish at a Division I national championship.
Hampson was a five-time Big South and two-time ECAC pole vault champion. She helped Liberty sweep the titles at the Big South Indoor and Outdoor Championships all four years of her career and place 15th at both the 2002 NCAA Division I Indoor and Outdoor Track Championships as a senior.
