Hall of Athletic Honor
Julika Blankenship charted the course for the national powerhouse status that Gettysburg women’s lacrosse has enjoyed over the last two-plus decades.
She was not only one of the top offensive threats to don a Bullet uniform but also in the history of Centennial Conference (CC) women’s lacrosse. A three-time All-CC selection, including twice garnering first-team accolades, she captured conference Player of the Year honors as a senior in 2004. A two-time first-team All-Metro Region selection and two-year All-American, she remains the program’s all-time leader in assists (160) and points (309). She helped her teams to three CC titles, three NCAA tournament appearances and a 66-15 mark over four years that included a 34-2 conference record. With 121 points as a junior and 112 as a senior,
Blankenship was the first player in program history with back-to-back 100-point seasons. She was tabbed the WomensLacrosse.com Athlete of the Year in 2004. In addition to her 149 goals, she also corralled 90 draws while adding 165 ground balls and 46 caused turnovers.
