BW celebrates 2024 Athletics Hall of Fame inductees

The nine accomplished Yellow Jacket honorees have left a lasting impact on the BW Athletics community. 

Baldwin Wallace University inducted nine alumni representing a range of teams into the BW Athletics Hall of Fame earlier this month.

BW celebrated the newest Yellow Jacket Hall of Fame inductees during a Saturday induction ceremony that featured remarks from BW's own Jim Tressel '75. A tailgate and recognition by the crowd at Finnie Stadium followed the indoor ceremony (along with a football win for the Yellow Jackets).
