IU Vice President and Director of Athletics Fred Glass announced Monday the seven members to be added to IU's Athletic Hall of Fame.
The seven inductees are Antwaan Randle El (football, 1998-2001), Landon Turner (men's basketball, 1979-81), Michelle Venturella (softball, 1991-95), Dave Martin (Varsity Club director, football, 1959-61), Leanne Grotke (coordinator of women's athletics, 1972-79), Bobby Robertson (football, 1949-52; baseball, 1954) and Lary Schulhof (swimming, 1962-64).
"These individuals embody the spirit for which administrators, coaches and student-athletes are best known at Indiana University," Glass said in a press release. "IU Athletics has long been a benchmark of excellence, both in the classroom and in competition, and these Hoosier greats certainly are responsible for helping establish that. We have great strengths and traditions because of their efforts, and it is with much gratitude that we recognize them for their service to IU."
The honorees will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at its annual dinner on Nov. 2. They will then be recognized on Nov. 3 at halftime of the football game against Iowa at Memorial Stadium.
The IU Athletics Hall of Fame was established in 1982 by the Department of Athletics in conjunction with the Varsity Club and I Association. It honors those whom have made contributions to IU both on and off the field of competition.
