The dinner and induction ceremony for the Hall of Fame’s 26th class will be Friday, August 31, at the Marian H. Rochelle Gateway Center, located at 22nd & Grand in Laramie.

The inductees must fit into one of five categories: student-athlete, coach, team, athletics staff member or special achievement. The special achievement category includes individuals who have contributed to the ideal of sports at the University. Each nominee must receive at least 75 percent of the committee’s vote to be eligible for induction.
