The University of Mary Washington Athletic Hall of Fame began in 1996, with the induction of five former athletes and the AIAW National Championship tennis team. Since then, the hall of fame has grown to 35 individuals and three national championship teams. The newest hall of famers, Jon Gates, Jeff Hootselle, Tim Selgas, and Myra Simpson, will be honored at the 11th annual hall of fame banquet on Friday, October 19, 2007, at 7 p.m. Tickets for the event are available by calling the UMW Sports Information Office at (540) 654-1743.
