When Rossville High School's Amanda Hill arrived at Kansas Wesleyan prior to the 2017-18 season, she had no idea of what she would accomplish.
Five years later, she can say she's the all-time leading scorer at KWU. She broke a 37-year-old record of 1,568 points set by Joedy Zimmerman in 1985 during Saturday's 83-75 victory over Ottawa.
Hill now has 1,604 career points after scoring 18 in the Coyotes' 89-41 victory over Southwestern on Monday at Mabee Arena. She has played in 140 games since graduating from Rossville.
"It feels really good," Hill said. "It was definitely something that I wasn't expecting and I didn't really know about it until a few games before. I don't think it really occurred to me until I was in the nursing program.
Hill, a nursing major, opted to take a fifth year at KWU when the NAIA granted athletes an additional season in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This season, Hill has balanced her time between basketball and the night shift in the emergency room at Salina Regional Health Center.
