Hartford Conn. - Trinity College Director of Athletics Drew Galbraith has announced the 2021 Trinity Athletics Hall of Fame class. The Trinity College Athletics Hall of Fame was created to celebrate the rich history of athletic excellence at Trinity College that spans more than 160 years. The Hall of Fame honors the men and women who, through athletics participation, coaching, or service, have distinguished themselves in the field of intercollegiate athletics, brought honor and acclaim to Trinity, and contributed to the success and advancement of intercollegiate athletics at the college. The group will be officially inducted into the Hall of Fame at an in-person ceremony in September. The 2020 Hall of Fame class will be formally inducted in-person in October.

"In 2019, we inducted our first Trinity Athletics Hall of Fame class and the reaction of our community was resoundingly positive. The chance to properly honor some of the greatest Bantams athletes of all-time was a true honor," said Galbraith. "We found it equally as hard for the 2020 and 2021 classes to make choices among the hundreds of nominees. The depth of talented student-athletes to wear the blue and gold is staggering. The time and extensive deliberation by our Hall of Fame Committee is greatly appreciated. This year's class continues in the tradition of outstanding honorees and we congratulate the entire class on this honor."
