WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - Three Lycoming College Most Outstanding Athletes, three All-Americans, six All-Region honorees, four conference champions and 20 all-conference citations make up the decorated Lycoming College Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2026, which will be inducted at the 40th annual Hall of Fame ceremony on Saturday, May 30, as part of the College's Alumni Weekend.
The complete class includes:
Trevor Corl '20 (wrestling),
Meghenn Jackson '17 (women's lacrosse/soccer),
Callan Jordan '19 (men's swimming),
Erica Lutz '21 (women's basketball),
Jeff Mahalik '92 (football),
Michael Tenant '19 (men's lacrosse) and
Tanner Troutman '15 (football).
The ceremony will take place at 3 p.m. in Pennington Lounge in the Wendle Hall.
Trevor Corl '20 (Wrestling)
For nearly a minute, Corl held Wis.-Lacrosse's Spencer Nevills, with Nevills legs floating in the air, his head on the mat and one shoulder pinned to the mat, held down by Corl's left arm, while Corl's forehead would have bored a hole into the mat if it could have. The third-period's two minutes never ticked by more slowly as Corl stayed motionless and Nevills paralyzed.
When he finally let go of the hold and Nevills escaped, it was too late to matter. Corl won 6-1 and became Lycoming's 70
th All-American at the 2018 NCAA Championships.
A two-time NCAA qualifier, Corl was in his second year as a member of the wrestling team when he hit the podium at the NCAA Championships, finishing his season with a 35-6 record and becoming Lycoming's third straight All-American at 149 pounds after Seth Lansberry earned the honors in 2016 and 2017.
The Bellefonte, Pa., native won the NCAA Southeast Region title the next year at 157 pounds and ended up a three-time regional placewinner, going 87-23 in his career with a school-record 28 tech falls at the time of his graduation.
A two-time NWCA Scholar All-American and a three-time member of the MAC Academic Honor Roll as a business and economics major, Corl actually stepped away from wrestling during his first year at the College in 2015-16 before joining the team the next year and going 11-8 as a backup to
Hadyn Swartwood '20, a two-time NCAA qualifier.
After graduation, Corl became a data collection technician for the U.S. Postal Service in Lock Haven, Pa., married his wife, Riley, in 2022, and has dedicated himself to becoming an above-average golfer.

Meghenn Jackson '17 (Women's Lacrosse/Soccer)
The first athlete in school history to earn first-team all-conference honors in two sports in the same year in 2015-16, it's no surprise the Meghenn Jackson '17 also earned the 2016 Lycoming College Most Outstanding Female Athlete award.
Jackson, who became the first women's lacrosse player in program history to earn MAC Commonwealth Offensive Player of the Year honors in 2016, was the first player in school history to reach 100 points in a season, finishing the year with a school-record tying 80 goals and 33 assists, which are third in school history, for 113 points.
The second-team all-region selection finished with the league lead in goals (4.71), assists (1.94) and points (6.65) per game, as was fifth in the nation in goals per game and third in points per game. She was just as good in MAC Commonwealth play, averaging league-best marks of 4.38 goals and 5.50 points per game.
The Arnold, Md., native also set the school record with six career MAC Commonwealth Offensive Player of the Week awards, as she won three as a senior to go with three from her junior year, when she also led MAC Commonwealth in goals and points in 2015.
In just two years in the women's lacrosse program, Jackson finished her career fifth in school history with 193 points, fifth with 148 goals and sixth with 47 assists, earning herself a chance to play in the IWLCA North/South game.
Despite only playing a season and a half with the soccer team due to injuries her junior year, Jackson made quite the impact when she emerged healthy in 2015, tying the then school-record for goals in a season (15) and finishing second in the MAC Commonwealth in goals (.833) and points (2.06) and fourth in assists per game (.389). A 2015 Academic All-MAC selection in soccer, she finished the 2015 season fourth in school history with 37 points (15 goals, seven assists).
While playing in just 27 games with the Warriors, she finished her career 10th in school history with 16 career goals and 40 career points.
Jackson began her collegiate career at Anne Arundel Community College, where she earned two All-American honors in lacrosse and All-American honors in soccer as a sophomore.

Callan Jordan '19 – Men's Swimming
A two-time MAC Champion and four-time conference runner-up, Callan Jordan left a legacy as perhaps the best backstroker in the history of the men's swimming program.
The sixth Warrior to win a MAC Championship in multiple events, he was the MAC Champion in the 200-yard backstroke in 2019 (1:52.44) and 100-yard backstroke in 2018 (51.38).
A Hurley, N.Y., native that went to the Western Academy of Beijing for high school, Jordan was also a four-time MAC runner-up – twice in the 100-yard backstroke (2017, '19) and once in the 200-yard medley relay (2016) and 400-yard medley relay (2016).
It looked like he was going to be a five-time runner-up in 2018, as he made the turn in third place in the 100-yard backstroke, but overtook both the swimmer ahead of him in the final 25 yards thanks to a strong kick off the turn, as his 26.13 return split was more than a second better than anyone else in the field.
His 2019 title in the 200-yard backstroke came in the opposite fashion, as he held more than a second lead through 150 yards before an Albright swimmer mounted a comeback effort, coming within an arm's length of Jordan before Jordan pulled away in the final 15 yards to win by .54 seconds.
He set the school record in the 100-yard backstroke for the fourth and final time of his career in the prelims at the MAC Championships with a swim of 50.95 in 2019 and finished his career as the school's record-holder in three events - 100- and 200-yard backstroke (1:52.44) and as a member of the 2017 400-yard medley relay team (3:31.22).
He earned 13 All-MAC honors in career (Four-times in the 100-yard backstroke, 2
nd Team, 2019; 1
st Team, 2018; 1
st Team, 2017; 2
nd Team, 2016; two-times in 200-yard backstroke, 1

Jordan was also a two-time Academic All-MAC selection and a two-time MAC Academic Honor Roll selection as a history and political science major.
After graduating from Lycoming in 2019, he joined the US Navy as a diver. He is currently stationed at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in New Hampshire. In addition to swimming at the Portsmouth YMCA a few times a week, he has also become interested in trail running.

Erica Lutz '21 (Women's Basketball)
After becoming one of five players in the Lycoming College women's basketball team's history to earn three all-conference accolades in her career,
Erica Lutz '21 was a no-doubt choice as the College's Most Outstanding Female Athlete of the Year in 2021.
A 6-0 forward, Lutz was Lycoming's first D3hoops.com All-Region selection as a senior, earning Second Team All-Atlantic/Mid-Atlantic Region honors.
An Academic All-MAC and First Team All-MAC Freedom selection as a senior, the Bernville, Pa., native became the first Warrior in program history to lead the conference in both scoring (16.2) and rebounding (11.3) in the same year. She also finished second in the league in field goal percentage (.527), sixth in free throw percentage (.760) and blocked shots (1.2) and seventh in assists (2.5). She finished the season 18th in Division III in rebounding (11.3) and 90th in points per game. During the season, the senior led the Warriors in scoring and rebounding in all six games, posting four double-doubles.
Lutz finished her career with 901 points, crossing the 900-point plateau with her last bucket of the season against Stevenson on March 18 of the COVID-19 shortened six-game season. The 6-0 forward became the fourth player in program history to reach 25 career double-doubles and also finished her career with a program-best .527 field goal percentage (382-of-729), second in program history with 138 blocked shots and sixth with 671 rebounds.
Team success was a large part of Lutz's career, with the team going 52-32 and reaching the postseason in each of the three full seasons in her career, including reaching the 2019 MAC Commonwealth Championship game.
Off the court, the ecology major volunteered with general maintenance of houses and barn, river clean up after flooding and grass and tree cutting at the Lycoming Biology Field Station. She also assisted in dove bandings, baited areas and set up duck traps for banding with the Pennsylvania State Game Commission. She also volunteered with the women's basketball team at St. Mark's Lutheran Church and with a variety of events for the Lycoming County SPCA.
She was an eight-time member of the Dean's List and four-time member of the MAC Academic Honor Roll and was inducted into the Chi Alpha Sigma Athletics Honor Society in 2020.
After graduation, Lutz became a water quality specialist with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
Jeff Mahalik '92 (Football)
From Monroeton, Pa., Jeff Mahalik came to Lycoming College in 1989 as the football team began one of its best four-year runs in the history of the program, winning four MAC titles and recording a 35-1-1 record, maintaining a 28-game regular-season unbeaten streak and reaching the NCAA Division III championship game, the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl, in 1990.
In his first two seasons, Mahalik was a backup in the team's secondary while Rick Bealer '91 wrapped up one of the most dominant careers ever by a Warrior cornerback, recording 32 interceptions.
Stepping into a starting safety role as a junior, Mahalik fit right into the team's ball-hawking ways, picking off three passes in 1991 and helping the Warriors reach the NCAA quarterfinals.
As a senior, Mahalik became a dominant force from his safety position, leading the Middle Atlantic Conference with eight interceptions, a mark still fourth in the school's single-season history. The Warriors wrapped up an 8-0-1 regular season that year and Mahalik earned First Team All-MAC honors and Honorable Mention Champion USA/SID All-American accolades, as well as becoming just the school's third CoSIDA Academic All-American honors as football player, joining fellow Athletics Hall of Famers Tom Vanaskie '74 and Mike Kern '85.
Also a First Team Academic All-District selection in 1992 as an economics and psychology major, Mahalik teamed with Scott Miller as the team's starting safeties that year. Miller went on to lead the nation in interceptions in 1993 and was inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame in 2015.
Mahalik is the third Warrior from the class of 1992 to earn induction into the Athletics Hall of Fame, joining Cory Sheridan, a 2004 inductee, and Joe Emrick, a 2008 inductee.
Following his graduation from Lycoming, Mahalick obtained a Master's degree in Sports Administration from Temple University, where he was an assistant strength coach in the athletic department and a player personnel intern with the Philadelphia Eagles.
He moved to New York City where he worked in sales and management of fitness center chains for the first three years, then changed careers and spent the next 16 years on Wall Street, where he met his wife, Gina. After having two children, Juliana and Lucas – currently age 14 and 12, respectively – the family moved out of the city to the New Jersey suburbs where Jeff ran a business consulting practice.
The family moved to the Richmond, Va., area in 2021, where they currently reside. Jeff coaches youth basketball and baseball and has coached football at the high school, middle school and youth level.

Michael Tenant '19 (Men's Lacrosse)
A three-year starter in goal for the Lycoming College men's lacrosse team, Michael Tenant '19 helped the Warriors rise from a team that won four games his first year with the program to a team that competed for the MAC Commonwealth Championship his senior year in 2019.
A three-time All-MAC Commonwealth goalkeeper, earning honorable mention honors as a sophomore before earning first-team honors as a junior and senior, Tenant became the program's first conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2019.
An explosive, athletic and smart keeper averaged 13.78 saves per game, the most for a keeper with a winning record in the conference, and his .564 save percentage was third in the league. He set the school's career saves record during his third year as a starter, finishing his career with 690, also setting the school's single-season record at 248. For good measure, Tenant also broke the school's single-game saves record when he logged 28 stops against Ithaca on Feb. 27.
He posted 12 games as a senior with at least 10 saves and saved fewer shots than goals allowed just twice during the season. He also earned two conference player of the week awards, giving him a school-record eight in his career.
The Baltimore, Md., native finished his career second all-time in wins (25), third in saves per game (11.90) and eighth in save percentage (.552) and goals against average (10.92). He helped the Warriors make two appearances in the MAC Commonwealth Championship (2018, '19) and one appearance in the conference final (2019).
After graduation, Tenant moved back to Maryland to work in healthcare sales and services, where he is a regional patient navigator for an advanced wound care company. He is a contributor to the Calvert Hall Alumni Association and is still active in lacrosse, coaching Team Maryland Lacrosse for the past six year. He also is a loving father to three-year-old daughter, McKenna.

Another in a long line of All-American defensive backs to grace the David Person Field gridiron, Tanner Troutman '15 finished his career sixth in program history with 16 interceptions.
Troutman, a three-time All-MAC safety, was the D3Football.com East Region Defensive Player of the Year and the first First Team D3Football.com All-American in program history after he tied for the Division III lead with eight interceptions as a junior in 2013 and helping the Warriors claim a piece of their 15
th MAC title.
