The UNF Department of Athletics inducted its 2009 Hall of Fame class Feb. 11 at the UNF Arena.

This year’s class of inductees features a national championship golf team, a former athletic director, and former members of the track, tennis, cross country and baseball teams.  Nancy Miller and Tom Healy became the first former basketball player and former administrator inducted to the hall in its third year of existence.

“This is perhaps the most diverse Hall of Fame Class we have had in the three years of its existence,” former UNF Athletics Director Dr. Richard Gropper said in a press release. “All of these men and women represented UNF in an outstanding manner on and off the field of play and I am proud of the fact that we can honor them for all of their great achievements.”
