Shoemake Elected to Red Devil Hall of Fame

Kelsey (Shoemake) Meek will be one of four former Red Devils joining the Eureka College Athletics Hall of Fame this year. She will be joined by Tim Caldwell, Mel Weith, and Rick White as well as the Red Devil 2016 football team.

Meek was a four-year member of the Eureka women's basketball team. She ranks in the top 10 in program history in seven statistical categories, three of which she sits in the top five. Meek is third all-time in field-goal percentage (.525), third in rebounds (878), and fourth in free-throw percentage (.786). She's also sixth in field goals made (490), sixth in points (1,213), ninth in scoring average (13.5), and ninth in free throws made (231).

She owns the Eureka and the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference single-season record for rebounds with 359 as a senior in 2014-25. Meek also appears on the Eureka single-season top-10 lists in points, field goals made, field goal percentage, free throw percentage, total rebounds (twice), offensive rebounds (twice), defensive rebounds (three times), blocked shots, and minutes played.

At Eureka, Meek was a three-time All-SLIAC selection, including a First Team choice in 2014-15. She was also a finalist for the Josten's Trophy in 2014-15, awarded to the most outstanding NCAA Division III women's basketball player based on three criteria: basketball ability, academic ability, and community service.

Her individual accolades came with team success. Meek's Red Devils went 21-5 on the season in her freshman year and finished second in the SLIAC. By her career's end, she had gone 52-25 in SLIAC play and 68-36 overall. She also played two seasons for Eureka volleyball, appearing in 46 matches and racking up 201 kills, 71 digs, 69 total blocks, and 32 service aces, and was a member of the tennis team.
