The Washington State athletics 2017 athletics hall of fame class announced Tuesday will include one Olympic gold medal winner, two former U.S. track and field champions, a former Cincinnati Bengal, and a pioneer in Cougars’ women’s athletics.
Four women, two men, and the 1968 men’s track and field team will be inducted into the WSU athletics hall of fame this fall. The induction dinner will be held on Sept. 22 at the Davenport Grand Hotel in Spokane, and the inductees will be introduced at halftime of the WSU-Nevada football game on Sept. 23.
This year’s class is heavy on track athletes (two, and one team) and women (four).
