In Delaware Val led the Ursuline Raiders to four straight state girls' basketball titles. She was the Delaware Player of the Year in her sophomore, junior, and senior years. After averaging 30.1 points and 16.1 rebounds in her last season at Ursuline, Whiting went west to Stanford where she won another championship in her freshman year.
She was inducted into the Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame in 2000, then the third woman to achieve this distinction. She was also a two-time participant in the U.S. Olympic Festival. At Ursuline Academy, Val led her team to four Delaware scholastic basketball titles and was a multi-year All-State performer.
After a rookie season that included Pac-10 and national freshman of the year accolades, as well as Stanford's first national championship, how could Whiting get any better? Two years later, as a junior, she guided the Cardinal to the 1992 NCAA title. Along the way, Whiting twice earned Kodak All-American honors, led Stanford to four consecutive Pac-10 championships and a 114-16 mark (.877 winning percentage). Whiting wrapped up her career as Stanford's all-time leading scorer (her 2,077 points now rank second overall) and rebounder (her 1,134 career boards now rank second), and still holds career marks in blocked shots and free throws. In 16 career NCAA Tournament games (which included three trips to the Final Four), Whiting averaged a double-double of 15.6 points and 10.1 rebounds.
