Vulcans adding 5 to Hall of Fame with 2027 class
The 32nd annual Hall of Fame class at Penn West California, which was revealed Tuesday, is one of the most talented and successful from the Vulcans’ rich athletic history.
The five-member class of 2027 includes Jade Arganbright (swimming), Garry Brown (football), Miki Glenn (women’s basketball); Carla Maestre (women’s golf) and Christy Cameron (softball).
In addition, Cal will present the Vulcan Distinguished Service Award to Carolyn Tardd and recognize the Silver Anniversary of the 2002 PSAC championship women’s basketball team during the Hall of Fame Ceremony on April 17, 2027.
Aganbright, a York native, competed in breaststroke and individual medley events at Cal from 2013-17. She was an All-American in both the 100 and 200 breaststroke as a sophomore and junior. Arganbright was selected the 2015 PSAC Swimmer of the Year and finished her career with seven individual titles at the PSAC Championships, the most in school history.
She completed a three-peat in the 100 breaststroke at the league meet from 2015-17 and also won both the 200 breaststroke and 200 individual medley twice in her career. Arganbright still holds school records in the 100 breaststroke, 200 breaststroke and 200 IM.
Brown, of Columbus, Ohio, was a three-year starting wide receiver from 2014-16.
He helped the Vulcans win the 2016 PSAC championship and advance to the Super Region One championship in the NCAA Division II playoffs. Brown was a consensus first team All-American as a senior while setting single-season school records for receiving yards, receiving touchdowns and total points. He was voted the 2016 PSAC West Offensive Athlete of the Year and was a three-time All-PSAC West first team selection at wide receiver.
Browns was a finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy as a senior. He ended his career as the school’s all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns.
Glenn, from Bridgeport, W.Va., was a four-year starting point guard at Cal from 2013-17 and helped the Vulcans win the 2015 NCAA Division II national championship. With Glenn, the Vulcans also won back-to-back PSAC championships as a sophomore and junior. She was a two-time All-American and was voted the PSAC West Athlete of the Year in each of her final two seasons. She ranks fourth all-time in school history with 2,007 points and also is among the top five in school history in assists and steals.
Glenn was chosen the PSAC Tournament MVP as a sophomore and junior, as well as the NCAA Regional MVP in 2015 while helping the program make three-straight appearances in the NCAA Tournament.
Maestre, from Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela, was a four-year golfer for the Vulcans from 2013-17. She helped Cal win the 2015 PSAC championship and earn three team qualifiers for the NCAA Super Region Championships. Maestre was selected the PSAC Athlete of the Year in three-consecutive years, including 2014, when she was an individual qualifier for the NCAA Championships.
She closed her career with a scoring average of 77.7 strokes over 90 rounds. Maestre placed among the top 20 at the regional championship three times and tied for second at the 2014 PSAC Championships.
Cameron, a native of Johnstown, was a starting shortstop at Cal from 1993-96. She was a member of multiple conference and regional championships as Cal swept the titles in both 1994 and 1996.
She ranks third in school history with 231 career hits, sits second in runs and steals, and still holds the all-time record with 427 assists. She earned All-PSAC West first team honors as a junior and senior, as well as all-region accolades in 1995. Cameron previously held all-time school records for runs, at-bats and games played.
Tardd will receive the Vulcan Distinguished Service Award after serving 40 years at the university, including as an administrative assistant for several decades. She received the John R. Gregg Award for Loyalty and Service in 2020 after retiring the previous year.
Led by coach and 2015 Hall of Fame inductee Darcie Vincent, the Vulcans won the first PSAC championship in program history in 2002 to start a run of four league titles in five years. Cal finished the year with a 25-6 record and the program earned its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament. The Vulcans featured a pair of future Hall of Fame inductees in Sara McKinney, who was selected both the PSAC West Athlete of the Year and PSAC West Rookie of the Year, and Sameera Philyaw (2009).
The Vulcans will present the Michael Duda Award for Athletic Achievement during the Hall of Fame ceremony. The award is presented to members of the university family for outstanding success in the field of athletics. Last spring, the honor was presented to Bill Cleary, who spent 34 seasons as the head coach of the Serra Catholic girls’ basketball program and compiled a 657-156 career record.
