FRESHMAN YEAR (1981-82)
Last year an ankle injury forced Amy Metheny to the bench for the first five games of her college career. She played for the first time in the California-Irvine Tournament and contributed 13 assists in three games. A second year walk on, Metheny owns some impressive basketball credentials. Her 1980 Southport High team won the State Championship and Amy was the recipient of the IHSAA Mental Health Attitude Award. Shw was chosen to several All-State and All-American teams and was honored with both the Marion County Coaches' and the Indianapolis Star-News' Athlete-of-the-year awards. As an IU freshman she competed in AAU ball, achieving All-American status. Metheny's biggest strength is the ability to penetrate the defense and dish off to the big players inside. Amy's talents are not confined to the court, as she is also an accomplished cellist and boasts a 3.22 GPA.
