Hailing from the tiny town of Elsmore, Kan., it didn't take long for Becky Carlson to make a big impact once she stepped foot on the campus of Tabor College.

Following a solid junior college career at Allen County Community College (Iola, Kan.), Carlson arrived at Tabor in the fall of 1978 and competed in volleyball, basketball, track and field, and softball.

Carlson helped the 1978 Bluejay volleyball team to a 15-1 record in the KCAC, good for a conference title. During that season, the Bluejays posted 22 consecutive victories while earning wins over Kansas State University, Pittsburg State University, the University of South Dakota, and Northwest Missouri State University. The following season, she once again helped guide the team to another KCAC title and was selected as the team's MVP.

On the basketball court, Carlson helped lead the Bluejays into postseason play and was named All-Conference for her efforts.

She also excelled in track and field, setting multiple school records in the shot put, 100-meter and 100-yard dash, 200-meter and 220-yard dash, along with the 440 relay and the 400 relay, winning the 100-yard dash four times during her junior season.

Following her time at Tabor, Carlson dedicated 34 years to education, teaching and coaching in Hillsboro and Iola, Kan. Throughout her coaching career, she guided her volleyball teams to nine state tournament appearances and one state title, and took her basketball teams to 11 state tournaments and three state titles.

Outside of athletics, Carlson remains active in her home church of Friends Home Lutheran Church and is dedicated to her family.

Carlson remains a pioneer of women's athletics, both at Tabor College and beyond.

HILLSBORO, Kan. — Becky Carlson cemented her place in Tabor College history as one of the institution's earliest standout three-sport female student-athletes, helping pave the way for generations of women who followed in Bluejay athletics.

Tabor College Men's Basketball has boasted a long list of prolific scorers throughout its history. One of those prolific scorers is Roger Camping, who arrived in Hillsboro in the fall of 1974 as a transfer from Mesa Community College (Ariz.).

Camping made an immediate impact in the program, quickly establishing himself as one of the top interior players in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC). During his junior season, he set a single-game school record with 15 rebounds against Southwestern College, led the team in rebounding with 149 total boards, and paced the squad in field goal percentage, shooting a blistering 53% from the field. Following that season he was named as an All-KCAC Honorable Mention selection, averaging 14.8 points per game.

He followed up those performances during his senior campaign, averaging 20.7 points per game and earning recognition as one of the premier scorers in the conference. That year he was named Team Captain, Team MVP, KCAC All-Conference for the second consecutive season, NAIA All-District 10, and Tabor College Male Athlete of the Year in 1976.

Following his time at Tabor, Camping went on to serve as a special assistant to a United States Congressman before founding RC Auto Corporation in 1981.

Roger and his wife Paula have been married for 47 years and have built a family that includes three sons, one daughter, and 16 grandchildren.

Camping's legacy remains one of dedication to faith, family, and service.

Freshman sensation Koltyn Kaniper closed out his rookie campaign at the NAIA National Championships with a 3rd place finish and his first-ever NAIA All-American honors.

Kaniper's story is a special one, as he arrived at Tabor this past fall, following in the footsteps of his older brother Kam, who is currently a member of the Bluejay Men's Basketball program. He came in to his freshman season after suffering an injury during his season year of high school, which fueled his drive and hunger.

That hunger paid off as he threw over 30 NAIA national qualifying marks over the course of the season, winning every meet he was entered in.

Tabor College has had many pioneers in Women's Athletics throughout the years, with several student-athletes competing in multiple sports. Lynn (Isaac) Wiebe is one of those pioneers. Arriving at Tabor in the fall of 1980, Wiebe originally competed on the Bluejay Women's Tennis and Softball teams, later adding Women's Basketball to her resume during her senior year.

While competing at a high level in one sport is certainly impressive, Wiebe did it with three sports, excelling on the tennis court and softball field, while helping the Bluejay Women on the basketball court.

Following her time as a student-athlete, Wiebe served as the Tabor Women's Tennis Head Coach for five seasons, later serving in the same role at Hillsboro High School.

Wiebe and her husband Hank remain active in the Tabor and Hillsboro community, as all three of their daughters are Tabor College alums. The Wiebe's are faithful supporters of Tabor College, regularly attending campus activities and events.
