The Radford University Sports Hall of Fame

Two new inductees will be added to the Radford University Sports Hall of Fame during ceremonies at the annual Highlander Club Banquet Thursday, August 19, 2004. Inductees are selected each year from nominees solicited through mailings to former Radford athletes and through a ballot in the RU Magazine and one which is available online. You may also obtain a ballot by contacting Tom Lillard, Executive Director of the RU Highlander Club, via e-mail at tlillard@radford.edu or by calling (540) 831-5228. Alumni, friends and members of the Radford University community can nominate future candidates based on the following criteria established by the Hall of Fame Selection Committee:

• Nominees must be individuals who participated in, or made a positive impact on, Radford athletics. Nominees will be considered after five years from the end of intercollegiate participation or at the conclusion of their athletic employment at Radford University.

Inductees into the Radford University Sports Hall of Fame receive a replica of a plaque featuring the achievement of the honoree. The original plaque is placed on permanent display in the Dedmon Center as part of the athletic department's trophies and team awards display.

The selection committee is comprised of the Athletic Advisory Council Chairperson; the Director of Alumni Affairs; the Director of Athletics; the Dean of Students; the Executive Director of the Highlander Club; the NCAA Faculty Representative; an at large alumni representative and the Sports Information Director.

Radford University is proud to recognize the 10th class of the Radford University Sports Hall of Fame. The 2004 class includes two former athletes: cross country standout Mitzi Hartwell and baseball star Travis Morgan.
