Hall of Fame
Heather Gibson is widely considered the first blue-chip volleyball player to play for UTC.
Making her mark as a blocker, Gibson still owns the school’s career records for total blocks with 478 and solo blocks with 206. She ranks third in all-time block assists with 272, is fifth in career service aces and sixth in total attacks.
In the season record books, she still holds school marks for total blocks, block solos, block assists and blocks per game. The California native was the team leader in solo blocks and blocks per game in all four years of her career.
Gibson was selected to the 1991 Southern Conference All-Tournament Team in 1991. She joins Rachel Evans as the first two volleyball players inducted into the UTC Athletics Hall of Fame.
