SIUE Athletics Seeks Nominations for Hall of Fame
           EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. - The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Department of Athletics is preparing to honor its best.
           SIUE Intercollegiate Athletics Director Dr. Brad Hewitt announced that the first class of the SIUE Athletics Hall of Fame will be released later this year. SIUE began intercollegiate athletics on Oct. 11, 1967, when the Cougars defeated Blackburn College 4-1 in a men’s soccer game. Since then, SIUE has won 17 NCAA Championships in four different sports.
           Members of the SIUE Athletics Hall of Fame Committee are taking the initial steps to gather the names of nominees. Cougar Athletics fans, friends and alumni may fill out a nomination form on the institution’s athletics Web site at www.siue.edu/ATHLETIC or by contacting SIUE Sports Information at Box 1129, Edwardsville, Ill. 62025.
           There are four categories of honorees: individuals, teams, coaches/administrators, and “Friends of the Program” or other individuals. Each category will have a specific set of criteria for nomination.
           Former student-athletes may be inducted with the following criteria: a minimum of two years of participation at SIUE, provided a substantial impact to their team, and are a graduate of SIUE. Individual candidates become eligible 10 years after completing their last season at SIUE.
           Teams may be inducted by vote of the Hall of Fame committee. Ten years after competing at SIUE, an inducted team must have achieved a high degree of success and made a substantial impact on the program.
           Coach/administrator honorees to the Hall of Fame are eligible two years after their final season at SIUE. These individuals must have served the University for at least four years and made a substantial impact and brought credit to the athletics program.
           Other individuals and “Friends of the Program” may be inducted into the Hall of Fame as individuals who have had substantial influence on the athletics program.
