Individual Intramural Sports participants who throughout the academic year portray characteristics of leadership, sportsmanship, service, and outstanding achievements are nominated by the Competitive Sports staff for the Intramural Sports Hall of Fame.


2024 Inductees

At the conclusion of the academic year, the Competitive Sports staff will induct one male and one female into the Hall of Fame. Their names will then be engraved on a permanent plaque and be displayed in the Health, Leisure and Sports Facility.

Carey Griffin

Carey has consistently created teams and played in all four of our major intramural sports, along with many tournaments such as softball, water ninja warrior, 3v3 soccer, 3v3 basketball, cornhole, and more. He has been integral at getting students to play intramural sports and encouraged many different people to join and play for his team, regardless of skill level. Throughout his time playing intramural sports, he has been respectful to intramural sports participants and the staff as well as encouraging a competitive but fun atmosphere for all. He was also an employee of the program for a little under 2 years. The inductee has played in over 172 games for 41 teams and has a winning percentage of 51%! He has won 3 championships in basketball, flag football, and kickball. This past basketball season, he led his co-rec team to his most recent championship! When told that he had been voted into the hall of fame, he said “I am extremely honored to receive this award. I am thankful to everyone I played with, and also to the refs who had to put up with me.” After looking over everything he has done for our program, both as a participant and as an official, it was an easy decision to induct this individual into the hall of fame.

Bethany Wohlford

Bethany recently graduated from the University of West Florida, and is now pursuing her Master’s Degree at the University of Tennessee.
Throughout her time playing intramural sports, she was a model participant in demonstrating good sportsmanship and being respectful to intramural sports participants, officials and supervisors. Bethany played in 110 games for 24 different teams during her time here, and has a winning percentage of 61%! Her teams made it far in the playoff brackets in multiple sports. Her most recent championship was for our volleyball season last year when her co-rec team went 8-1 to win the entire division. She has multiple championships to her name, and 5 championship runner-ups. Finally, she was awarded our Women’s League MVP award for our 2023 soccer season. When she was told that she had been voted into the Hall of Fame, she responded by saying “Intramurals definitely impacted my time at UWF in many positive ways and I couldn’t imagine my time here without it.” Her athleticism and positive attitude made it easy for her peers to vote her into the hall of fame.
