The University of Colorado Athletic Hall of Fame was established in 1998 to recognize outstanding individual and team accomplishments and to preserve the heritage and tradition of the CU Athletic Department.
Appropriately, one of CU's most distinguished alumni, former United States Supreme Court Justice Byron "Whizzer" White, was the lone member inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame's inaugural class in 1998.
The CU Athletic Hall of Fame now stands at 122 individuals and one team.
