The University of Arizona Athletics Department is pleased to announce the four individuals and nine NCAA Championship relay teams that will be a part of the 2017 University of Arizona Sports Hall of Fame Induction Class. The selected individuals and relay teams will be inducted at a formal ceremony and dinner on Thursday, Aug. 31 at the Westin La Paloma Resort and Spa. The inductees will also be recognized during an on-field presentation at halftime of the football home opener against Northern Arizona University on Saturday, Sept. 2.
This year, all former swimming and diving student-athletes, who were eligible and qualified for induction as an individual or relay champion prior to the Sports Hall of Fame policy change in 2014, will be inducted together as part of the 2017 Hall of Fame Class. This unique class will be celebrated in conjunction with our Arizona Aquatics Reunion, which will also take place Friday, Sept. 1 – 2. We are excited to be able to celebrate the success of former student-athletes during the same weekend we honor current and former aquatic programs: Men’s and Women’s Swimming and Diving, Men’s Water Polo and Women’s Synchronized Swimming.
A complete list of all individuals and teams who are members of this distinguished group can be found on our website.
