She was one of four Clemson players named to the ACC’s 50th Anniversary Team in 2002.
Kennedy-Dixon, who was elected into the Clemson Athletic Hall of Fame in 1989 and the state of South Carolina Hall of Fame in 1998, currently resides in Liberty, SC with her husband Marvin. The couple has two children, Jalen (10) and Jasmine (9).
