Overview

The University of Rochester Athletic Hall of Fame was created in 1992 to honor former athletes, coaches, and friends for outstanding achievement. Their stories stand as testimony to the rich history that athletics play in the education of Rochester's students and of their pursuit of excellence both on and off the field.
