2019 Class Set To Induct 10 New Buff Legends
BOULDER – The induction dinner and ceremony for the 15th class that will be inducted into the University of Colorado Athletic Hall of Fame on Thursday, Nov. 7, has officially sold out.
The class features 10 Golden Buffalo legends who are representative of five different sports, along with a trailblazer in administration, all of whom have their special place in history created during their careers in a group that collectively covers over a century of CU athletics. The 10, two of whom will be honored posthumously, cover a period starting in the 1890s through the 2000s. A pair earned their way into the Hall through coaching, one of whom has the stadium named for him, another through both playing and coaching and a fourth who was the first of just two women's athletic directors in school annals. Two cross country and track stars, two skiers and two football players, one of whom also played baseball, round out the class.
Fans can still celebrate this year's inductees at the Pearl Street Stampede at 7 p.m. on Friday, with the group also to be introduced at halftime of the CU-Stanford game on Saturday, Nov. 10. The game is a part of CU's annual Homecoming Weekend festivities and will kick off at 1:00 p.m.
This year's inductees, which will bring the total in CU's Hall to 122 members (plus the '59 ski team, CU's first national champions) since its inception in 1998. (15 have been honored previously after their deaths).
Fifteen inductees have been honored posthumously, as will Fred Folsom this year; his grandson will be present to represent the family.
