The Saginaw Valley State University Athletic Hall of Fame selection committee is soliciting nominations for the 2013 induction class, which will be honored the weekend of September 27th during the upcoming football season. Since the selection process began in 2009, 13 former Cardinal student-athletes and two teams have been inducted into the Cardinal Athletic Hall of Fame.
All nominations are forwarded to the Hall of Fame selection committee for discussion and consideration.
“We’re looking for former student-athletes who have set records, or still hold records, were all-conference or were All-Americans,” said Matt Oberlin, committee chairperson. “The idea is to recognize the very best of Cardinal Athletes with representation from all sports and time periods.”
