Lisa (Lind) Prevedello, class of 1989, is selected to the Linfield Athletics Hall of Fame for her contributions in track and field.
As Lisa Lind, she set a Linfield high jump record of 5-feet, 8 1/2 inches at the Stanford Invitational in her senior year that still stands 16 years later. She once held or shared five school records.
She set a Linfield long jump record of 17 feet, 8 1/4 inches and a 100-meter hurdle record of 15.18 seconds, that both currently rank fourth on Linfield's top 10 list.
She also set a heptathlon record of 4,404 points that currently ranks third and ran on a record-setting 4x100 relay team.
In 1989, Lind won the high jump, 100 hurdles and long jump at the Northwest Conference championship meet and was named Female Athlete of the Meet. She set a meet record in the high jump.
She was the inaugural winner of Linfield's Female Athlete of the Year award in 1989 and graduated with highest honors and a 3.84 grade-point average in psychology.
Prevedello started competing in track and field in the second grade and was recruited to Linfield out of Sandy High by coach Rudy Pearson, who remains a mentor and friend to this day and was best man at her wedding.
Prevedello resides in Eugene with her husband, John, whom she met on the Linfield track, and three children, girls ages 9 and 6, who already participate in track, and a son, 1. She and her husband, a 1988 Linfield graduate, own an advertising agency in Eugene.
