About Inductee

Tracy Valenzuela was one of the first great women athletes at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. A 1994 graduate of J.O. Johnson High School, she was signed to a scholarship by UAH coach Les Stuedeman to be a member of the school's inaugural softball team in 1996 and immediately helped establish a standard of excellence for Charger softball that still endures more than 20 years later. She played on UAH teams that won conference championships in 1996 and 1998 and won the NCAA South Region championship in 1999. She was an NFCA All-American in 1999 while finishing second in the conference record book in season batting average (.478) and sixth in slugging percentage (.859). A resident of Owens Cross Roads, Valenzuela is a certified registered nurse practitioner in Huntsville.
