Lindsay Whalen (BS ’06) inducted into Basketball Hall of Fame

Congratulations to Lindsay Whalen (BS ’06) for being inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. According to an article in the Star Tribune, “A Hutchinson native, Whalen broke the all-time Minnesota high school scoring record and helped turn around the Gophers program. She helped lead Minnesota to the NCAA Sweet 16 in 2003 and then took Minnesota on a magical ride to the Women’s Final Four in 2004. She went on to lead the Lynx to four WNBA titles and won two gold medals with the U.S. national team. She is now entering her fourth season as the Gophers head coach.”

Whalen is a graduate of the School of Kinesiology with a BS in sport science (now sport management).
