Whitney Blackburn Waseity was the lone inductee in the 2015 induction class.

During her days as an Arrow, Waseity scored 1,552 points which ranks her second in program history. She played in 115 games and started them all while also setting the school record for minutes played in a career.

Waseity made 321 career three-pointers, 90 more than the player who occupies the second spot on the school's list, while shooting the triple at a 38.4 percent clip.

She hit a school single season record 106 threes as a senior, 15 more than anyone else has in a year. As a junior, Waseity connected on 84 triples which is the third most ever by an Arrow. Her 68 made threes as a sophomore and 63 as a freshman rank fifth and seventh, respectively, on the school's single season list.

When you look at the single season point records, Waseity has two of the top seven showings. The 16.4 points per game she averaged as a senior ranks second in school history.

She is also second in program history in career free throw percentage (79.2 percent) and through the end of the 2014-15 season, she ranks eighth in program history in total assists and 11th in steals.

Waseity earned All-American Mideast Conference (AMC) honorable mention status as a rookie in 2005-06, the same year she was named to the All-AMC North Division Freshman Team. She again earned honorable mention status in the AMC as a sophomore in 2006-07.

As a junior, she was named to the All-American Mideast Conference (AMC) North Division Third Team while also being named an All-AMC Scholar-Athlete. The following year, she again earned honorable mention status from the AMC and repeated as an All-AMC Scholar-Athlete.

In a 2008 game against Oberlin College, she put together one of the great individual performances in program history. She connected on a school single-game record 11 three-pointers and finished with a then-school record 34 points in a 74-60 victory over the Yeowomen.

After earning her undergraduate degree in business administration and marketing, Waseity went on to earn her MBA from Malone University in 2011. She works as a facility director with the Department of Veterans Affairs.

She lives in Massillon, Ohio with her husband Michael and son Gunner who was born in late April of 2015.
