Grinnell College Athletics Hall of Fame

The Grinnell College Athletics Hall of Fame recognizes outstanding alumni athletes whose performance in their sport(s) was exceptional.

The Hall of Fame selection committee is composed of a cross-section of representatives from the athletics department, development and alumni relations, students, faculty and alumni.
