COLUMBIA, KY - A pair of former outstanding student-athletes will be inducted as the Lindsey Wilson College Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2006 on Saturday, February 11, 2006.

Leighton Main and Ray Torres have been selected as the newest members of the athletic hall of fame, Lindsey Wilson Athletics Director Willis Pooler announced today.

"It's with great honor that I announce Leighton and Ray's induction into the Lindsey Wilson College Athletic Hall of Fame," Pooler said. "Both men were extraordinary student-athletes, that represented Lindsey Wilson College with the upmost integrity and passion for the game they played. Their contributions elevated the programs which they represented. We believe this extraordinary class, as our previous classes, embodies all the attributes you want in a hall of fame class."

The pair will be inducted in a ceremony at the Roberta D. Cranmer Dining & Conference Center on Saturday, February 11, at Lindsey Wilson.

Members of the Class of 2006 are:
  • Leighton Main earned All-American honors on two different occasions during his Lindsey Wilson College career.

    He the captained the Lindsey Wilson College men's soccer team in 1995 and 1996, the first program's first two National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) National Championships.

    In 1994, Leighton earned National Soccer Coaches Association of America All-American honors as he helped lead the Blue Raiders to the program's first NAIA Final Four. During the season, Leighton was fifth on the team in scoring with 25 points on seven goals and 11 assists.

    During the program's first national championship in 1995, Leighton helped Lindsey Wilson to a 10-0-2 record in its last 12 matches to win the title in the program's sixth year of existence.

    Leighton earned NAIA All-American honors in 1996 as he helped the Blue Raiders win their final 12 matches and the program's second consecutive national title.

    During the championship seasons, Leighton anchored a defense that allowed just 43 goals in 54 matches, including 27 shutouts. During the 1996 playoffs, Lindsey Wilson allowed just one goal in eight games en route to the crown.

    Leighton helped lead the Blue Raiders to a 76-14-9 record during his tenure at Lindsey Wilson, including four conference titles, three regional championships and two national championships.

    Leighton scored 13 goals and collected 21 assists during his 87-game career from the defender position.

    Leighton is the fourth men's soccer player to be inducted into the Lindsey Wilson College Athletic Hall of Fame.


  • Ray Torres is the second Lindsey Wilson College baseball player to be named National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) first-team All-American.

    Ray hit .503 with seven home runs, 45 RBIs, 11 doubles and four triples during his All-American season in 2000 en route to being named NAIA Region XII and Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Player of the Year.

    During the 2000 season, Ray helped the Blue Raiders to the KIAC regular season and tournament championships and the program's first regional crown. Ray set the program's single-season batting average record (.503) in 2000 while helping the Blue Raiders to a program-best .717 winning percentage (38-15).

    Ray hit .431 over his two-season career, with 11 home runs, 88 RBIs and 41 stolen bases. He ranks in the program's top-10 in three different categories, including first in career batting average and third in stolen bases.

    As a pitcher, Ray ranks in the top-10 in five categories, including second in strikeouts (185), third in earned run average (3.64) and fifth in complete games (15). Ray compiled a 17-7 record over his career on the mound and his 185 strikeouts came in just 163 innings.

    In his two seasons, Ray helped the Blue Raiders to a 72-34 record, including a 39-8 conference record.

    Ray is the first baseball player to be inducted into the Lindsey Wilson College Athletic Hall of Fame.
The hall of fame ceremony, including the banquet dinner, is open to the public. For more information or to RSVP, call (270) 384-8071.
