Pitt athletic director Heather Lyke unveiled the inaugural class of the Pitt Athletics Hall of Fame on Thursday, and the 16 inductees include some of the all-time greats from the university’s football, basketball, baseball, track and field, swimming, and gymnastics teams.
“I love to remind people that Pitt could have its own wing in so many different halls of fame,” Lyke said in a statement. “Our athletic history is that rich and accomplished. I certainly tasked the selection committee with a huge challenge in trying to pare down 150 years of history for this inaugural class. In looking at our many deserving candidates, it is obvious that this 2018 group will be the first of many legendary Hall of Fame classes at Pitt.
