Henry Elliott made the most of his three-year career with the Flames after transferring to Liberty from Campbell following his freshman season.
Elliott was a two-time All-American in different disciplines, first earning NCAA Division II All-America honors in 1987 in the discus with a fourth-place finish. Two years later, he became Liberty’s first-ever NCAA Division I men’s All-American with a seventh-place finish in the decathlon at the national championship in 1989. He also was the Penn Relays champion in the decathlon as a senior in 1989.
Elliott helped cap Liberty’s dominance in the Mason-Dixon Conference during the program’s final days at the NCAA Division II level. Liberty captured the Mason-Dixon Conference Indoor Track Championship titles all three years he was a member of the team in 1987, 1988 and 1989, while securing Mason-Dixon Conference Outdoor Track Championship titles as a junior and senior in 1988 and 1989.
The native of Spivey’s Corner, N.C., made the team’s 100-Point Club all three years of his career with the Flames and still ranked in the program’s top 10 of six different events at the time of his induction, more than three decades after graduation.
