Join us as we honor the outstanding achievements of individual athletes, coaches, and friends of the UAH Athletic Program. The University of Alabama in Huntsville Department of Athletics is pleased to unveil the Inaugural Class of the UAH Athletics Hall of Fame, announcing 10 members that will be enshrined for their extraordinary accomplishments and contributions as a Charger. “We are excited to announce our first-ever UAH Athletics Hall of Fame Class,” stated Director of Athletics Dr. Cade Smith. “These 10 individuals are among the very best Chargers and truly exemplify the best about college athletics, especially at UAH. It was tough as a committee in our discussions to pick just 10 individuals to be our first Hall of Fame members, but we believe we have a strong group of Chargers of which we can all be proud. We can't wait to celebrate these men and women in person when it is safe to do so, and we look forward to announcing more details about an induction ceremony.” MELANIE CARTER | SOFTBALL | 2000-2003 JIM HARRIS | DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS | 1995-2010 MATT JANSEN | BASEBALL | 1998-2002 BECKY STITT PLOTT | VOLLEYBALL & WOMEN'S BASKETBALL | 1995-1999 DOUG ROSS | HOCKEY | 1985-2007 TASO SOFIKITIS | HOCKEY | 1992-1996 WENDY HURST STEWART | SOFTBALL | 1996-1999 TONY VANN | MEN'S BASKETBALL | 1975-1979 ERIN ZELLERS | WOMEN'S CROSS COUNTRY & TRACK | 2005-2009 LINCOLN ZIYENGE | MEN'S SOCCER | 1993-1996 Former student-athletes become eligible for induction consideration 10 full years after their last season of collegiate competition and should have earned All-America, all-region, or all-conference honors, and additionally potential nominees should be of good character and reputation while exhibiting community involvement and citizenship.
