Hall of Fame
Worthen earned All-America and Southern Conference Co-Player of the Year in water polo in 1993. He led the Southern Conference in goals despite the fact the Tiger team finished 1-16 in conference competition, which included scholarship programs like Richmond, Arkansas and Dayton, along with non-scholarship Washington and Lee. Worthen played “hole man” which was toughest position to play in water polo as the center of the offense. A four-year starter as a defenseman in lacrosse, he earned USILA Honorable Mention All-America honors and All-ODAC honors in 1993. His forte was “full-field transition” as he was virtually impossible to stop. He once single-handedly cleared the ball through defending national champion Princeton’s “ride” or press nine times. Worthen went on to receive his MBA from Vanderbilt University. He is now a Corporate Director of Marketing for Coca-Cola, Inc., in Birmingham, Alabama.
