Maxwell-Divis, a 2002 graduate, was Briar Cliff's first national champion in any sport, winning the 400 meters twice in indoor track and once outdoor. She was an 11-time NAIA All-American in the 200, 400, long jump and 4x400 relay and still holds eight indoor school records and five outdoor. Also a cross country runner for two seasons, Maxwell-Divis is an intensive family preservation/reunification therapist and therapist team leader with Bethany Christian Services in Indianapolis, Ind.
A 2001 graduate, Moberg-Miller was a two-time NAIA all-region and all-section selection in volleyball, playing in every game in her four-year career who helped the Chargers to a 102-60 record, topped by a 31-8 mark as a senior. Moberg-Miller finished her career as BC's all-time leader with 1,631 kills, while her 2,086 career digs is tops among non-libero players. Also a graduate of the Northern Illinois University College of Law, she is employed with Amoni Law Offices, P.C., in Aurora, Ill.
Rosenmeyer, a 2001 graduate, helped the Briar Cliff women's basketball team to a four-year record of 110-24 and four national tournaments, highlighted by a Final Four finish as a senior in 2001, when she averaged 16.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and was named an NAIA honorable mention All-American. She finished her career with 1,559 points and 815 rebounds and was also a member of teams that had a 41-game home winning streak from 1997 to 2000. A Sioux City resident, Rosenmeyer has been an assistant women's basketball coach at Morningside the past six years.
With the induction of this year's class, the Briar Cliff Athletic Hall of Fame now includes 40 former student-athletes, six former coaches or athletic department personnel and 12 honorary members.
Coronation of this year's homecoming royalty will take place between the women's and men's games.
