Introducing USM’s 2025 Athletic Hall of Fame Inductees

USM’s fourth class of Athletic Hall of Fame inductees were honored with a ceremony in October, which was attended by hundreds of guests. This class of inductees included barrier-breaking athletes, an inspirational coach, and the USM Wildcats Booster Club. Each inductee was presented with a trophy, and their athletic accomplishments were highlighted in videos.
