The 2023 class will be the first ever all-female class inducted into the Hall of Honor in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the passage of Title IX.

Reed became the first Duck to win an Olympic medal in softball when she helped Team USA earn silver at the Tokyo Games in 2021. The former Janie Takeda was a three-time All-American outfielder for the Ducks from 2012-15 and a three-time all-Pac-12 first team selection as well. She remains Oregon's all-time leader in hits (309), runs (204), stolen bases (102), and at-bats (788) and ranks second all-time with a .392 batting average.
Playing in 241 games, Reed led the Ducks to Pac-12 championships in 2013, 2014 and 2015, and to three Women's College World Series (2012, 2014, 2015).
As a freshman in 2012, Reed hit .323 with 60 hits, 16 stolen bases and scored 38 runs and was named to the Pac-12's all-freshman team. Statistically speaking, her sophomore campaign in 2013 was one of the best in program history. She had a school-record 92 hits in 208 at-bats for a .442 batting average, which led the Pac-12 and ranked 13th nationally. She also scored 54 runs and drove in 44 others while stealing 31 bases. Reed was honored as a first-team All-American by the NFCA in 2013 after earlier being named to the all-Pac-12 first team.
As a junior in 2014, Reed became just the second two-time All-American in program history with a second team nod from the NFCA. She also earned her second all-Pac-12 honor after hitting .388 with 81 hits, 56 runs, 40 RBI and 20 stolen bases. She was named the MVP of the NCAA Eugene Regional after hitting .545 with five runs, a double, a home run and five RBI over three games against Utah Valley and Wisconsin.
As a senior, Reed became the first three-time NFCA All-American in program history after hitting .411 with 76 hits. She also scored 56 runs and stole 35 bases and was again named to the all-Pac-12 first team.
After college, she won gold with Team USA at the 2016 and 2018 WBSC World Championships, as well as the 2017 and 2019 Pan American Games, in addition to the Olympic silver medal. She also played professionally for three seasons with Athletes Unlimited (2020-22).
The Placentia, Calif., native is married to former Duck and current Major League baseball pitcher Jake Reed.
