LONDON, Ontario - San Diego State head lacrosse coach Kylee White will be inducted into the London (Ont.) Sports Hall of Fame, the organization announced.
The induction ceremony will take place in November at the Carousel Room in London.
White, a London, Ontario, native, joins June-Marie Provost, a national and international Masters Race Walking champion, Harvey Bailie, the former vice president of Baseball Canada, and Jeff Glass, a Canadian Olympic track and field record holder, in the 2016 class.
The former Kylee Reade, White is the only woman to represent Canada in each of the last three decades. In 1995, White played on the inaugural U-19 Canadian National Team, serving as an assistant on the team in 2007. She also played for Team Canada at four IFWLA World Cups (2001, 2005, 2009, 2013), helping the 2013 team to a silver medal.
A four-year letterwinner at Ohio State, White was a four-time Buckeye scholar-athlete pick and an Academic All-Big Ten performer on three occasions. She co-captained the 2002 squad to an 11-5 mark, runner-up finish in the American Lacrosse Conference, and Ohio State's first NCAA bid. White caused 28 turnovers in 2001 and still ranks among the OSU all-time leaders in caused turnovers and ground balls.
White was a two-year member of the Ohio State Student-Athlete Advisory Board and served as a co-captain of the inaugural Ohio State women's varsity hockey team in 1999-2000. She served coaching positions at Culver (Ind.) Academies, Stanford, Ohio State and Loyola before assuming her current role with the Aztecs for the program's inaugural season in 2012.
White will join her grandmother in the Hall of Fame. Barbara Kemp Reade was a member of the 1945 London Shamrocks basketball team, which won the Eastern Canadian title in 1945.
