Hall of Fame
Anita McChristian Harrod was the first legitimate star of the UAM women’s basketball program after the sport was reinstated in 1973.
Harrod was a four-time All-Arkansas Women’s Intercollegiate Sports Association selection, joining Gwen Walker and Tina Webb as the only four-time all-conference selections in school history.
A sharp-shooting forward, Harrod scored 1,527 points and is still seventh on UAM’s career scoring charts 28 years after her last game. During Harrod’s career, the Cotton Blossoms won or shared four straight AWISA championships while compiling a record of 75 wins and 26 losses.
