ASHLAND, Va. – Randolph-Macon College will induct four individuals and one team into the RMC Athletics Hall of Fame in 2026. 

Inductees include Pat Holland '91 of men's basketball, Sharese Jarvis '15 of softball, Keith Sweaney '80 of football, Amy Towler '94 of women's soccer, and the 1974-75 men's basketball team.


Holland was a three-year letter winner after spending one year at the University of Maryland, playing five games for the Terrapins. Once he arrived in Ashland, he quickly established himself as a force on both ends of the floor. He graduated as the program's 31st all-time leading scorer with 1,205 points and still holds one of the best scoring efficiencies in school history, ranking 5th in career scoring average (17.0 ppg) and 3rd in career field goal percentage (62.2%). Holland set a single-game blocks record with eight in contests against both Eastern Mennonite and Roanoke. He finished his career first on the RMC career blocked shots list with 174, which stood as the program record at the time of his graduation. His 73 blocks in a single season remain second in school history. During his three seasons, RMC posted an incredible 72–13 record, including back-to-back ODAC regular-season and tournament championships in 1989–90 and 1990–91, an NCAA South Regional appearance, an NCAA Sweet 16 berth, and national rankings as high as No. 5 in the final Division III poll. Following his collegiate career, Holland continued to excel on the professional stage. He played internationally with Club Atenas in Argentina's Liga Nacional de Básquet (1991–92), competed in the Pepsico Ramadan Tournament in Dubai (1992), and starred for the Ringwood Hawks in Australia (1993), averaging 31 points per game and finishing second in MVP voting. 
 
 
Sharese Jarvis, a member of the Class of 2015, distinguished herself as one of the most decorated and accomplished softball student-athletes in program history through sustained excellence at the conference, state and national levels. Jarvis was a three-time First Team All-ODAC selection (2013–15) and received multiple postseason honors throughout her collegiate career. She earned First Team All-State (VASID) and First Team All-Region recognition in 2013, followed by additional All-Region honors in 2014 and 2015. In her senior season, Jarvis was named Second Team All-State and selected to the NCAA All-Regional Team. She also was the recipient of the Susan Locke deNagy Award in 2015, recognizing outstanding achievement and leadership. A record-setting performer, Jarvis ranked first in program history at the time of her graduation in at-bats (500), runs scored (156), hits (180), RBIs (142) and total bases (330). She concluded her career with 36 home runs, currently ranking second all-time, along with 36 doubles and 33 stolen bases. Jarvis posted a career batting average of .360, ranking among the program's all-time leaders. In addition to her individual accomplishments, Jarvis played a key role in the program's sustained success. During her four-year career, the team compiled a 115-47 overall record, including a 51-27 mark in ODAC competition. 
 

Keith Sweaney, a member of the Class of 1980, was one of the most impactful defensive players in Randolph-Macon College football history and a respected leader throughout his four-year career. A four-year letter winner and starter at nose guard, Sweaney served as a two-year team captain and was known for his exceptional quickness, strength and tenacity despite being undersized for his position. He earned First Team All-ODAC honors in 1977 and Second Team All-ODAC recognition in 1978 and 1979. In 1978, he was named Richmond Touchdown Club Defensive Player of the Year. Sweaney delivered several historic performances, including 27 tackles against nationally ranked James Madison as a freshman and 23 tackles against Washington and Lee in 1979. That same season, he led the ODAC with 11.8 tackles per game and was widely regarded as a leading candidate for Conference Player of the Year. During Sweaney's career, Randolph-Macon posted a 19-17 overall record and a 13-1-1 mark in ODAC play, capturing conference championships in 1978 and 1979. Following graduation, Sweaney served with distinction as a lieutenant colonel in the United States Marine Corps, including service as a presidential helicopter pilot and a senior leader in the Osprey program. He died in the line of duty on Dec. 11, 2000. The Class of 1980 established the Lieutenant Colonel Keith Sweaney Scholarship in his memory. 


The 1974–75 Randolph-Macon Yellow Jackets delivered one of the finest seasons in program history, finishing 7–3 with their only losses coming by one point at Virginia State and twice to eventual national champion Old Dominion. The Yellow Jackets captured the Mason-Dixon Conference regular season and tournament titles, advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16, and spent nine weeks ranked in the national top 10. Randolph-Macon reached as high as No. 4 during the season and finished No. 13 in the final national rankings. Among the season's signature wins was an 84–74 victory over Georgetown University on Jan. 11, 1975. The Hoyas, who later qualified for the NCAA Tournament, were led by head coach John Thompson, who was assessed three technical fouls in the first half. On Feb. 3, Fletcher Johnson scored 52 points in a 108–75 road win at Catholic, and on March 7 Randolph-Macon opened the NCAA Tournament with a 64–60 win over defending national champion Morgan State, which featured future NBA lottery pick Marvin Webster. Johnson finished his career as Randolph-Macon's all-time leading scorer with 2,216 points, while Paul Jez ranks second in career assists with 747. Four players from the team surpassed 1,000 career points before the advent of the three-point line. Nine members of the 1974–75 team have been inducted into the Randolph-Macon Hall of Fame, including head coach Paul Webb, who recorded 315 career wins with the Yellow Jackets, and assistant coach Hal Nunnally. More than 50 years later, the 1974–75 squad remains a defining standard of excellence in Randolph-Macon basketball history. 
 

Amy Towler was a cornerstone of Randolph-Macon women's soccer during her four-year career, lettering all four seasons and helping guide the program to sustained conference and regional success. Primarily a defender, Towler finished her career with 11 goals and five assists while anchoring a Yellow Jacket team that posted a 65–6–4 overall record, including a dominant 30–1–1 mark in the ODAC. Randolph-Macon captured four ODAC championships during her tenure and advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 1994. Individually, Towler earned First Team All-ODAC honors all four years and was named First Team All-State in 1992, 1993 and 1994. She also received Second Team All-Region recognition in 1994. Towler is one of only six Randolph-Macon women's soccer players to earn First Team All-ODAC honors four times, joining Bridget Collier, Kelly Keffler, Jenn Kohler, Erin Hamm and Aimee Beightol. The other five are members of the Randolph-Macon Hall of Fame, underscoring Towler's place among the program's most accomplished players.
