Former Trevecca Trojan All-American baseball player Luke Brown was inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame Saturday, November 9, 2013, during Homecoming weekend. Ashlie Gilland, a former women’s basketball player, and Luke Brown, from the Trojan baseball program, will comprise the Trevecca Hall of Fame class of 2013.
There are now a total of 57 members in the Trevecca Athletic Hall of Fame, which was started in 1993.
With both former athletes still in the area, the Trevecca athletic department was able to surprise both of them with the news that they will soon be members of the Trevecca Hall of Fame.
