BERKELEY, Calif. – Jolene Henderson, one of the top pitchers in school history, was formally inducted into the Cal Athletics Hall of Fame on Oct. 27.

The eight-member class was inducted during a ceremony on campus in Pauley Ballroom and also were recognized during halftime of the Golden Bears football game versus USC.

The eight-member class was comprised of Jolene Henderson (softball), Doug Brien (football), Mike Epstein (baseball), Devanei Hampton (women’s basketball), Jana Juricova (women’s tennis), Carli Lloyd (volleyball), Jerome Randle (men’s basketball) and Barry Weiner (men’s gymnastics head coach).

Henderson stands as one of the top pitchers in Cal history as her name is littered throughout the school’s record book.

She was named the Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year in 2011 and 2012 and captured the conference pitching triple crown in each year as she topped the Pac-12 in earned run average, wins and strikeouts.

She was also named NFCA First Team All-America in 2011 and 2012 and was selected a second team All-American in 2013.

Henderson was a three-time First Team All-Pac 12 selection and was named all-conference four times overall as well as being selected First Team NFCA All-Region on four occasions.

She was a finalist for the 2013 Senior CLASS Award and was twice named a finalist for the Honda Sports Award.

Henderson still holds program records in career wins (130), single-season wins (40) and single-season innings pitched (333.1) and ranks fourth all-time in Pac-12 history in victories.
