Hall of Fame
Tiffany (Sparks) Baum '97 was part of the Panthers' volleyball team that won the 1996 National Small College Athletic Association National Championship. She was named most valuable player for her extraordinary play, as well as being selected to the NSCAA All-Tournament Team. She also earned NSCAA All-American honors. For the season Baum was named All-Conference 2nd team.
Baum received an Education degree with endorsements in Physical Education and Coaching from York College in 1997. Since graduating, she has taught K-8 Physical Education, most recently at Lifegate Christian School in Omaha. "She is continuing to exemplify the joy of the Lord in all she does,'' said longtime LCS administrator Sally Frick. ”Tiffany is determined to see to the success of the entire school, not just her classroom. She is a true example of what it means to be a servant leader."
Baum has also been a supervisor in Athlete Services for the Olympic Swim trials in 2012, 2016, and the upcoming 2020, and for Olympic Curling trials in 2018.
Because of her outstanding athletic achievements, dedication to her students, and continued demonstration of what it means to be a team player, on this day, October 18, 2019, Tiffany (Sparks) Baum is inducted into the York College Athletic Hall of Fame.
