Four track athletes are among the thirteen selected for induction into the University of St. Thomas Athletic Hall of Fame on September 19.
The new additions, who represent ten of UST’s 20 varsity sports, bring the the Tommies' Athletic Hall membership to 184 individuals and one team since the first inductions in 1974.
Tommie women’s athletics has grown rapidly since its debut in 1977-78. There are a record eight females being inducted this year -– the first time one class has more women than men inductees. That brings the total of women in the Athletic Hall to 37.
Past inductions to the UST Hall were held every three years, although this is the first group added since 2007.
