The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Athletics Hall of Fame is accepting nominations for the 2014 class of inductees.

Anyone can nominate former student-athletes, teams, coaches, administrators, and friends of the program for induction. All nominations received by March 15th will be considered for the 2014 class.

The nomination form is available online at http://www.siuecougars.com/hallfame/siue-hallfame.html.

SIUE Director of Athletics Dr. Brad Hewitt said the SIUE Athletics Hall of Fame continues to be a source of pride for the program.

“The individuals and teams who have been inducted into the SIUE Athletics Hall of Fame exemplify the best of Cougar Athletics,” said Hewitt. “While we now are building our future at the NCAA Division I level, it is equally important to celebrate our past. We will be excited to soon announce a 10th class for the Hall of Fame.”

SIUE Athletics Hall of Fame bylaws state a student-athlete becomes eligible for consideration 10 years after completing his or her eligibility. Coaches and administrators are required to have finished their career at SIUE for more than three years. Teams become eligible 10 years after the season was completed.

Since the SIUE Athletics Hall of Fame began in 2005, there have been 86 individuals and 21 teams inducted into the SIUE Athletics Hall of Fame. Last year, LeAnn (Bryan) Harris (Women’s Basketball), Michelle (Gilman) Cox (Volleyball), Dion Joannou (Men’s Tennis), Bob Kessen (Men’s Soccer), Marco Winter (Men’s Tennis), and Michelle (Wreen) Staroba (Women’s Tennis) were inducted.
