The 35th class into the WKU Athletic Hall of Fame certainly doesn’t lack star power. Western Kentucky formally inducted a quartet of former standout student-athletes into the school’s Hall of Fame during an induction ceremony Saturday during the annual W-Club Homecoming Brunch at E.A. Diddle Arena, with Angie Bradley-Towns (track & field), Brandon Doughty (football), Jack Doyle (football) and Matt Rice (baseball) all on hand to be enshrined as part of the school’s all-time elite athletes. Bradley-Towns, a four-year letter winner from 1977-80, earned national AUAW Women’s All-America honors in the long jump as a senior in 1980. She set WKU indoor (19 feet, 9 inches) and outdoor (20-4) records in the long jump that season. She qualified for the national championships in the long jump all four of her years at WKU. Bradley-Towns graduated with school records in six outdoor events — three individual (long jump, 100 and 200 meters) and three on relay teams (4×100, 4×400 and 4×800).
