2000 Mitchell/2004 Dakota Wesleyan graduate. One of SD’s greatest all-time basketball players from a basketball family that holds a Guinness Book of World Record as a single family to score over 10,000 points for a single college, for which she was featured in Sports Illustrated’s “Faces in the Crowd”. Six of Carol & Bill Morgan’s eight children — Wes, Scott, Ronda, Robin, Raven and Randi —played for the Tigers. Randi Morgan was a three-time NAIA Division II All-American in women’s basketball and a four-time all-Great Plains Athletic Conference first-team selection. She was the NAIA Division II player of the year in 2002. That season, she led DWU to wins over Northern State, Augustana and the University of South Dakota. She ended her career as the second-leading scorer in South Dakota collegiate history with 2,557 points and the leading rebounder with 1,544. She set 21 DWU records and led the Tigers to a four-year record of 100-41. She led the Tigers to third place at the NAIA national tourney in 2002 and second place in 2003. Her DWU college basketball jersey was retired in 2015. Randi also played professionally in Europe for a short time. For the Kernels, Morgan was four-time all-Eastern South Dakota Conference, a two-time all-state and a three-time all-tournament team selection at state. At the time of her graduation, she was Mitchell’s leader in points, rebounds and blocked shots. Along with brother Scott, Randi is a member of the NAIA, Mitchell High School and DWU Halls of Fame, and now the South Dakota Sports Hall of Fame. Randi and her husband, Wyatt, reside in Hartford, SD with their five children, Walker, Wakely, Wheeler, Warren and Willow.
