A prolific scorer and rebounder, Cindy Harper Covington was a standout member of the Johns Hopkins women's basketball team for four years while also competing for the track team for three years. She left her name throughout the women's basketball record book and is one of just a few players from prior to 1990 who still remain among the program's all-time statistical leaders.

Harper Covington concluded her career ranked second on the all-time scoring list at Johns Hopkins with 1,056 points and still ranks 13th on the all-time charts. She also became just the second player in school history to amass 1,000 points and 450 rebounds and she remains one of just nine players in school history to reach these milestones.

Harper Covington still holds school records for points (39) and field goals (16) in a game and also ranks in the top 15 in school history in field goal attempts (1,040), field goals made (436), free throw attempts (378), and free throws made (184) 

Her cumulative career records are magnified when considering the number of games she played in her career. Prior to 1990, the Johns Hopkins women's basketball team played an average of 18-20 games per season. Since then, the Blue Jays have played an average of nearly 29 games per year.
