It wasn’t long ago when ShaRae Mansfield questioned whether seven knee surgeries were worth the pain endured during four years of basketball at Western Kentucky.
Her answer came in a phone call from longtime WKU sports information director Paul Just in July, just a week before Mansfield would undergo knee replacement surgery.
Mansfield, who lettered four seasons from 1998-2001 and was an All-American as a senior, was inducted alongside John Mutchler and the late Jim Rose as the 27th class into the WKU Athletics Hall of Fame on Saturday morning at E.A. Diddle Arena.
Mansfield was the first of the three inductees introduced at Saturday morning’s induction bruncheon.
