Marcus Woody to be inducted to Troy Athletics Hall of Fame

One of Benjamin Russell’s very own is set to be inducted into the Troy Athletics Hall of Fame in April. Marcus Woody was a standout track and field athlete from both the Wildcats and Trojans, and now his name is to be forever memorialized. 

Woody was a two-time All-American and a three-time winner of the James Batie Award for Troy's Outstanding Track Athlete. For nearly 32 years, he was the school record holder in the men’s 800-meter race with a time of 1:49.40. He placed fourth in the 1993 NCAA Division II National Championship and the following year finished fifth overall.
