Forever a Hilltopper: Travis Hudson statue revealed
Cheers echoed outside of Diddle Arena’s Gate two, as WKU Volleyball Head Coach Travis Hudson’s statue was revealed by two current players.
“What an amazing day, what a surreal moment. It meant so much more to me to see everyone out here then it did to look to my left and see that statue,” Hudson said.
After the Hilltoppers swept the Delaware Blue Hens on Saturday Nov. 8, seniors Callie Bauer and Callahan Wiegandt unveiled Hudson’s statue. Hudson received the distinguished honor, after 31 seasons, 800 plus wins, 34 conference championships and 17 NCAA tournament appearances.
