Athletic Hall of Fame Winners: 2011
Tiffany Foote
Tiffany Foote hails from University City in St. Louis, Mo. As the younger sister of two older brothers, she grew up playing basketball in a neighbor’s back yard to keep the teams even. Her love for the game and spirit for competition was undeniable even at a young age; she would often spend time dribbling up and down the street. Foote joined an organized team by the fifth grade. Attending University City High School, she received many honors and broke several records including the girls’ basketball scoring record (1,530 points), which still stands to this day. Her senior year of high school, Foote was recruited by several colleges and universities, but chose Columbia College after receiving a call from Mike Davis. The two discussed a completely new program that would be the beginning of something great, and Foote became part of a team that would make history.
During her career at Columbia College, she received First Team All-Conference Honors in 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 as well as All-American Honorable Mention in 2005 and Academic All-American accolades in 2005. Her tenacious defense resulted in setting the record for steals in addition to setting the all-time assists record (666).
Foote graduated with honors in 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. She is currently coaching high school girls’ basketball and playing semi-professional basketball with the St. Louis Surge.
