During her career at Whitman College, Amanda (Bradford) Harvey etched her name into the record books as both a standout basketball player in the Northwest Conference and an NAIA All-American javelin thrower.

It’s for these reasons that Harvey was among six individuals recently inducted into the Whitman Athletics Hall of Fame during a ceremony held earlier this month in Walla Walla.

“I’m not surprised in the sense of the others who have been inducted in the past, because my stats are comparable,” Harvey said by phone from her office in Bremerton. “It’s really exciting to be chosen and I really feel honored.”

A 1994 graduate of R.A. Long High School, Harvey lettered in basketball, track and volleyball with the Lumberjills, and was named Girls Basketball Player of the Year for the 1992-93 season by The Daily News.

While at Whitman, the 5-foot-10 Harvey led the team in scoring and steals all four seasons, and led the team in rebounding three times to earn four all-Northwest Conference of Independent Colleges second-team honors. She was No. 1 in the conference in scoring as a junior at 18.8 points per game, and averaged 14.7 points and 6.6 rebounds as a senior despite missing six games with a knee injury.

Harvey finished her career with 1,401 points to rank third on the school’s all-time scoring list, making her one of three Whitman players to score more than 1,300 points in a career. She also is among the school’s all-time career leaders in rebounds (688), steals (240) and assists (201).

In track, Harvey holds the school record in the javelin at 146-feet-1. Besides winning the conference javelin title with a throw of 145-11 in 1995, she also placed second, third and fourth twice as a four-time All-American at the NAIA National Track and Field Championships.

Harvey capped her Whitman career by winning the Mignon Borleske Trophy in 1998 as the school’s outstanding female student-athlete.

“Participating in sports at Whitman was a great experience and I made a lot of great friends,” Harvey said. “It was pretty cool going to nationals, but it was also a real eye-opener because I was competing against athletes from all over the country.”

After graduating from Whitman with a degree in English in 1998, she enrolled in the Seattle Pacific University School of Law, where she graduated cum laude in 2002.

Harvey is a prosecuting attorney for the City of Bremerton, where she lives with her husband, Brian Harvey (Whitman Class of 1998). The couple have a 5-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son.

“I used to work as a defense attorney, and working in the prosecutor’s office is really quite a change,” she said. “It’s a lot more exciting and I’m in court every day as opposed to spending a lot of time sitting behind a desk.”

Harvey is the daughter of Carmen Bradford of Longview and the late William Bradford.
