Jerry Jones Kansas Wesleyan Coyote Athletic Hall of Fame
The 2001 KWU baseball team would win the program’s first KCAC Championship since 1975 winning the conference with a 21-3 KCAC record. The 21 conference wins was a then-program record and would be equaled in 2009 and 2011 before being broken in 2021. The Coyotes won 14 straight conference games during the season. KWU did not play in the KCAC tournament that season, having won the regular season title and would face Bellevue and Hastings in the NAIA Midwest Regional.
Boise (Max) Bethge was the KCAC Co-Player of the Year for the KCAC and a first-team All-KCAC selection. Sean Sloan, Dale Schattenberg, Ricardo Garcia and Royce Carnley were also first-team selections. Greg Kmet, Cody Brassfield and Sammy Mendoza were named to the second-team and JJ Reynado was a third-team selection.
