Hall of Fame
As a freshman, Kim Merritt won the 1973 Wisconsin AAU T&F Cross Country Championship and placed fifth in the USA T&F Cross Country Championship. Her finest moment was winning the 1976 Boston Marathon in 2:47.19. She was selected as an AIAW All-American in cross-country and track and was a two-time Academic All-American. This honor was significant since colleges competed in one division at the time.
