Centennial Conference Silver Anniversary release
HAVERFORD, Pa. – The Centennial Conference is celebrating 25 years as one of the elite small college athletic conferences in the country with the announcement of its Silver Anniversary teams.

- Two-time Centennial Conference Player of the Year
- First-team All-America AND two-time first-team All-Centennial performer
- Two-time All-America (first, second, or third team)
For individual sports such as swimming and track & field, the accomplishments must have occurred in the same event.
On Monday, the Centennial Conference released the list of 34 women's tennis players who were named to the Silver Anniversary team. The Haverford College women's tennis team has positioned itself as a force to be reckoned with in the Centennial Conference with nine playoff appearances in the past 10 years, including the team's first two appearances in the Centennial Conference Championship match during the 2014 and 2018 seasons. With the announcement of the conference's Silver Anniversary team, the Haverford College women's tennis program had three representatives on that team in Alyssa Kennedy '02, Katie Wettick '11, and Caitlin Gallagher '15.
