Brian Borland who served in multiple roles with the Warhawk track and field and football programs will be inducted under the category of staff/coach, while former tennis student-athlete and longtime UW-Whitewater supporter John Buckley will be inducted for his distinguished service to the institution.

Hendrickson was a four-year member of the UW-Whitewater women’s basketball team from 2006-10. The point guard helped the Warhawks to three NCAA Division III Tournament appearances, including a third-place finish in 2008. A two-time Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Champion, Hendrickson was named all-conference in 2008, 2009 and 2010, adding All-Defensive Team honors in 2010. She went on to earn First Team All-Region recognition and was an Honorable Mention All-America selection from D3hoops.com in 2010. 

Her 108 steals in 2009-10 broke the program record at the time and is currently sixth in league history. As a sophomore, Hendrickson shot .460 from three-point range — a top ten mark in league history and ranked second in program history. 

Hendrickson holds numerous top 25 marks in the UW-Whitewater season record book in points, assists, steals, field goal attempts, three-point attempts, three-pointers made, three-point percentage, free throw attempts and free throws made. In the program’s career record book, Hendrickson is ranked among the top 20 in points (1108), points per game (12.3), assists (264), steals (245), free throws made (235), three-pointers attempted (420), three-pointers made (155) and three-point percentage (.369). 

A native and graduate of Monroe, Hendrickson earned a bachelor’s degree in health, human performance and recreation with a minor in coaching in 2010.

All 13 individuals will be recognized for their contributions to Warhawk Athletics as part of the UW-Whitewater football team’s game against UW-Platteville on Saturday, at 1 p.m. on October 25.
