Maryland field hockey coach Missy Meharg was inducted into the D.C. Sports Hall of Fame Sunday at Nationals Park, becoming the third Terps coach to be recognized.

Former women’s basketball coach Chris Weller and men’s coach Gary Williams were inducted in 2014 and 2015, respectively.

“What a complete honor to be recognized with former great Terp coaches Gary Williams and Chris Weller,” Meharg said. “George Solomon, former Washington Post sports editor and current professor in our journalism school, is such an advocate for local sports. I am very grateful to him and the entire committee for everything they have done for athletics in D.C.”

Meharg, a nine-time National Coach of the Year, is entering her 29th season with the Terps. She has led Maryland to seven of the program’s eight national titles as head coach and won 22 conference championships. She’s also guided the Terps to 16 final four appearances.

Last season, Meharg became the fourth head coach to earn 500 wins. She’s coached 46 All-Americans and more than 120 All-Conference selections. Seven players Meharg coached at Maryland have gone on to make Olympic rosters.

The inductees are selected by a 10-member panel that features Nationals principal owner Mark Lerner, former Washington Post sports editor George Solomon, ESPN 980 host Doc Walker, broadcaster Phil Wood and other sports figures wasn’t state in release.
