This Oak Ridge, Tennessee native was one of the top middle-distance runners and relay performers in the history of the Texas Longhorns track program from 1986 to 1988. She was a two-time NCAA champion, 10-time Southwest Conference champion, and eight-time All-American, helping lead Texas to three NCAA team titles and five top-five finishes at national meets. She also set the school record in the outdoor 800 meters with a time of 2:01.50 in 1987, a mark that still stood at the time of her induction. Off the track, she earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 1988 and later received her law degree from the University of Tennessee in 1994. Davidson is now an attorney in Tennessee.
