Colleen Kerg Price '87 competed on the volleyball and indoor track and outdoor track and field for four years as is one of the most versatile all-around student-athletes ever to compete at Baldwin Wallace University. She was the Outstanding Senior Female Athlete in 1987 and inducted into the Alumni Athletic Association Hall of Fame in 1999.

As a freshman, Colleen and the Yellow Jacket volleyball team compiled a 34-12 record (tied for the second most all-time) and qualified for the NCAA Division III National Tournament in Los Angeles, California versus Occidental. She was a four-year letter winner, two-time All-Ohio Athletic Conference and All-Ohio selection and a two-time Academic All-OAC and CoSIDA-GTE Academic All-District IV recipient. Overall, Colleen helped BW compile a 123-59 record with a .676 winning percentage and four straight seasons with 26 or more wins, including a pair of 34-win campaigns (1983 and 1985) 

Also, during her freshman year, Colleen broke the BW outdoor track and field record in the javelin. It was a feat that she would accomplish for four straight years and earn All-OAC accolades each season. Colleen also competed in the 100, 200, and 400-meter dashes, as a member of the 4x100-meter relay team and in the long and high jump. In 1987, she earned All-OAC honors in the 100-meter dash and on the 4x100-meter relay and had school bests in the long and high jump.

An outstanding student in mathematical economics, Colleen was BW’s Clyde Lamb Scholar-Athlete Award recipient in 1987. She is one of just a few BW student-athletes, male or female, to be both the BW Outstanding Senior Athlete and Clyde Lamb Award winner.

Following graduation, Colleen shifted towards Biblical literature and the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary and she is a Certified Minister.
