Campbell University

Janet Wooten, a former golf standout, was inducted into the Campbell University Sports Hall of Fame in October 2005.
 
A native of Morganton, Ga., Wooten led Campbell to consecutive Big South Conference women’s golf championships in 1993 and 1994 during her three-year career.  After transferring from Auburn University, she became the first-ever Campbell golfer to earn an individual berth in the NCAA Division I Regional Championships.
 
She led Campbell to 10 tournament wins in her three-year career.  Individually, she won seven collegiate tournament championships and finished among the top 10 individuals 19 times in 26 outings.  She was a three-time All-Big South Conference Team member and member of the Big South Conference Presidential Honor Roll.
 
Wooten joined the Campbell program in the fall of 1991 and won her first title as a Lady Camel at the Fighting Camel Classic.  She then finished fourth in the Big South Championship. 
 
During her junior year, Wooten was named Big South Player of the Year after winning the league individual title and leading Campbell to its first-ever women’s golf conference championship.  She won four tournaments -- the Samford Classic, UNC Greensboro Fall Invitational, Big South Championship and Hartford Invitational -- during her junior season, which was capped with her participation in NCAA post-season play.
 
As a senior, Wooten was honored as Campbell’s Outstanding Female Athlete for the 1993-94 academic year.  She won tournament titles at Nebraska and Georgia State and earned all-league honors for the third-consecutive year with a fourth-place showing at the Big South Championship.  She led Campbell to its second-straight Big South team title and first-ever team invitation to the NCAA East Regional.
 
Wooten was inducted into the Big South Conference Hall of Fame in 2008.
 
After graduating with honors in business administration, Wooten returned to her hometown where she worked as an optometrist.  She has two children – Benjamin Thomas and Sydney Lynn.
