The Saint Ignatius Athletic Hall of Fame
The Athletic Hall of Fame recognizes members of the Saint Ignatius community who have had extraordinary athletic achievements during their time at Saint Ignatius College Prep. The Athletic Hall of Fame recognizes athletes, teams, coaches, administrators, friends and clergy-- living or deceased. The first induction took place in 1995 and awards are now presented annually during the official Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. This year's induction will take place at the December 3 Wolfpack basketball game vs. Fenwick and deadline for 2010 nominations is October 1, 2010.
