"We are very happy for Sheana on her recent induction into the USTFCCCA Hall of Fame," said Head Coach Stephanie Domin. "I was lucky to witness Sheana as a student-athlete over the years at Carthage. She was a fierce competitor, an athlete that worked hard every day of her career and a leader. Former Head Coach Steve Ray also deserves some recognition as he guided Sheana in the hurdles and was a huge part of her success and motivation. We are very proud to celebrate Sheana's history and the outstanding impact she made on our program as the most decorated female athlete. She is an amazing woman that continues to lead in life's journey."

Grigsby was also part of a national-championship 400-meter relay team in 2003. She earned 17 NCAA All-America citations, 12 outdoors and five indoors.
