Duke vice president and director of athletics Kevin White announced today that the football field within the new Pascal Field House will be named in honor of Sara Lynn and K.D. Kennedy, Jr.
Sara Lynn Kennedy graduated from Meredith College in 1964 and serves on the Board of Directors for the North Carolina Theatre and Performance Edge. K.D.
