Godfrey, Ill. – Lewis and Clark Community College is currently accepting nominations again this year for coaches and athletes to be inducted into its Hall of Fame.

This year, a maximum of three individuals will be inducted into the Lewis and Clark Athletics Hall of Fame. Nominations for inductees can be made by former players, coaches, college personnel, contributors and supporters of athletics and sports professionals, such as sports writers, photographers and sports editors and directors. Nominations of inductees must be made through the Lewis and Clark Community College Athletics Hall of Fame Nomination Form. Nominations will be accepted until Oct. 15.
A selection committee, consisting of college representatives, sports editors and directors and alumni, will vote on and accept this year’s inductees by February 2011, and all of the inductees selected will be honored at the Athletic Banquet during a special ceremony in May 2011.
“A number of representatives of the college and the local sports media have worked hard to create a Hall of Fame, honoring those athletes and coaches from past teams for their hard work and dedication,” Terry said. “The purpose of this organization is to recognize the leadership, character and exceptional contributions that so many Lewis and Clark athletes have shown to their sport and their college. We look forward to honoring those people for their dedication and athleticism, in what may be a long overdue ceremony for some.”
