Peach Belt Hall inducts three from Georgia College

The Peach Belt Conference held its inaugural induction ceremony for the PBC Hall of Fame on Tuesday, with three Georgia College athletic icons joining the initial class.

Administrator Stan Aldridge, tennis player Julia (Roudkovskaya) Dimitrov and golfer David Robinson were included in the initial 25-person class.

Aldridge set the framework for the move to NCAA Division II and joining the PBC. He joined Georgia College in 1975 as its men’s basketball head coach before becoming the college’s athletics director, a position he held for 17 years.

Inducted into the Georgia College Athletics Hall of Fame in 2006, Roudkovskaya is one of 12 PBC women’s tennis players to be named an All-Conference performer all four years that she played. From 1999-2002 she was one of the dominant players in the PBC and was named a four-time All-American.

Robinson is the only men’s golfer in PBC history to be named the conference’s player of the year three straight times. Also a three-time All-American, he won seven tournaments from 2000-03 at Georgia College. He is tied for third all-time on the PBC list of career tournaments won.
