Shannon Gepford graduated from CMC in 1991 and at the time of his induction was just the second baseball player ever, in Central Methodist history, to be named an NAIA All-American. Gepford had a senior season to remember back in 1991, earning First Team All-Region honors; as well as All-Conference honors, he recorded seven bunt base hits; the season record at that time, and hit .402 at the plate. While at CMC, Gepford played every position except pitcher and catcher, was an academic all-scholar and chosen as team captain. He also is tied for the current single season record holder for triples, with six back in 1989. Gepford's record was tied back in 2000 by Jason Bierk. Overall Shannon Gepford ranks in the top-15 in nine career statistical categories in Central's rich baseball history.
