The Methodist Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2001 during their time as Monarch student-athletes accumulated two national titles, six All-America nods, seven all-conference selections, three national academic honors and continues to own one national record and 13 Methodist records.

One inductee's career accomplishments also earned a jersey retirement.

Holly Anderson, class of 1989, was one of the pioneers of the nationally-ranked Methodist College women's golf program as she became the school's first female All-American in 1986. She is one of 11 Monarchs to have earned All-American honors in four consecutive seasons -- and one of seven earning first-team honors each year -- and claimed two consecutive National Golf Coaches Association Division III national titles (1986, 1987). Additionally, Anderson was a three-time NGCA Academic All-American. Anderson is the inaugural women's golfer to be inducted into the Methodist Athletics Hall of Fame.

Jim Darden, class of 1969, served as the cornerstone of the Methodist men's basketball program that began in 1963-64 when Methodist entered intercollegiate athletics competition. Darden played for current Hall of Famer Gene Clayton from 1965-69 and was a Dixie Intercollegiate Athletic Conference first team All-Conference selection all four seasons. He ranks fourth on the Methodist all-time scoring list with 1,644 career points and holds five school records, including the highest single-season scoring average with 23.0 points per game in the 1968-69 season when he led the Monarchs to the DIAC championship. Darden, who was honored at the 2001 DIAC conference tournament as one of MC's top-10 all-time players, still holds three DIAC tournament records.

Jansen Evans, class of 1988, was perhaps one of the best baseball players to ever don the Green & Gold. He captained the first Monarch squad to reach an NCAA Division III World Series in 1986 and holds the NCAA D-III record in career runs scored (267) while continuing to rank in the top five nationally in career hits, at-bats and stolen bases. In addition to having his No. 16 jersey retired by the program in 1988, Evans' name is prevalent in the Methodist baseball record book. He tops career lists in five categories and is in the top five in five others, while continuing to hold three single-season records and ranking fifth or higher in three other categories. Evans, who was a three-time all-conference selection and two-time first team All-American, is the fourth baseball player inducted into the Methodist Athletics Hall of Fame.
