FRANKLIN, Indiana – The Franklin College athletic department is proud to announce the 2025 Athletic Hall of Fame class, honoring three exceptional Grizzlies whose impact on their teams and the college community is still felt today. Sarah (Condra) Langdon '12, Anna (Murdock) Larson '15 and Ian Sanders '11 will be formally inducted at the annual Franklin College Hall of Fame Banquet on Thursday, Oct. 9, in conjunction with Homecoming Saturday on Oct. 11.
 
Sarah (Condra) Langdon, DDS '12 is being inducted into the Franklin College Athletic Hall of Fame in recognition of her remarkable basketball career and enduring contributions beyond the court.
 
As a standout student-athlete, Langdon helped lead the Grizzlies to a 65–17 record over three seasons, securing two Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference regular-season titles (2010, 2012), two HCAC tournament championships and a pair of NCAA Division III tournament appearances. The 2011-12 team, anchored by her leadership, finished 25-3 and reached a program-best national ranking of No. 12.
 
Langdon's accolades include selection as two-time HCAC Most Valuable Player, three-time first team all-conference honoree and an Academic All-District selection. She was a finalist for the Jostens Trophy, which recognizes the most outstanding player in Division III based on basketball ability, academic prowess and community service. This achievement marked the first time a Franklin College women's basketball player was up for the honor.
 
After earning a doctor of dental surgery degree from Indiana University in 2017, she established Condra Cosmetic and Family Dentistry in Indianapolis.
 
Anna (Murdock) Larson '15 enters the Hall as the only NCAA national champion in Franklin College history, as she captured the title in the 800-meter run at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field National Championships in 2015. She was the first track athlete in Franklin College history to be named an indoor and outdoor All-American in the same year (2015), and she was a finalist for the NCAA Woman of the Year (across all divisions) that year in addition to being named the HCAC Female Athlete of the Year (across all sports).  
 
Larson qualified for the NCAA outdoor championships in 2013, 2014 and 2015, gaining All-America honors each year. She was also a three-time HCAC Most Valuable Female Athlete and a four-time All-HCAC honoree in outdoor track and was a three-time all-conference indoor selection. The HCAC also named Larson its Most Valuable Female Athlete for the 2014 cross country season, adding to her All-HCAC selection in 2012.
 
Larson still holds school indoor records at 400, 600, 800 and 1,000 meters, as well as in the distance medley and 4x400 relays. She holds the outdoor records for the 400- and 800-meter runs as well as the 800- and 1,600-meter relays, and she also holds the 6K record in cross country.  
 
Larson paired her athletic success with academic excellence, earning Academic All-Conference recognition and Academic All-America honors.
 
Currently, Larson works as the director of training and development for the Garrett Cos. in Greenwood, Indiana.  
 
Ian Sanders '11 etched his name in Franklin College history as the program's first baseball All-American, earning the prestigious honor from D3baseball.com in 2009. A two-time American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) All-Region selection (2009, 2011) and a four-time All-HCAC honoree, Sanders distinguished himself as one of the most decorated players to ever wear the navy and gold.
 
Sanders posted a stellar .408 batting average during his All-America campaign, belting 10 home runs and driving in 59 runs. His impact extended well beyond individual accolades — during his four-year career, Franklin compiled a 113-54 record, capturing HCAC titles in both 2009 and 2011. In his senior season, Sanders helped guide the Grizzlies to their first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance and first NCAA Tournament victory, a win over Frostburg (Md.) State.
 
A career .374 hitter, Sanders graduated as the Grizzlies' all-time leader in hits (220), runs (164) and doubles (58), and he still holds the single-season RBI record (59). His excellence extended into the classroom as well, as he earned induction into Chi Alpha Sigma for academic achievement and received the 2011 Wil B. Nelp Outstanding Male Student-Athlete Award.
 
Sanders continues to lead and mentor young athletes as a school counselor and head baseball coach at Centennial High School in Franklin, Tennessee.
