Hall of Fame chair and master of ceremonies Rory F. Quirk '65
February 20, 2008
The Georgetown Athletic Hall of Fame was established in 1953. Fifty-five years later, on February 2 of this year, the University welcomed home a distinguished group of individuals and honored them as the most recent class of inductees to the Athletic Hall. This upscale affair was held on campus at the Leavey Student Center, where the Hall of Fame gallery was formally opened in 1994.
Having spent much of the five weeks prior to the ceremony immersed in and writing about their past athletic accomplishments and their lives since, it was a real treat for me to spend some time with the five record-breaking athletes and one coach/administrator who were recognized.
The membership of the Hall to which this year's names are added, is impressive. Nineteen sports are now represented. The oldest (Michael Mahoney - baseball) and youngest (Catherine Taylor - volleyball) members of the Hall are both from the class of '89, one hundred years apart.
