HARTFORD, Conn. – The 2022 Trinity Athletics Hall of Fame class was inducted at a ceremony on Friday, September 23 at the Bond Ballroom in downtown Hartford.  

"Once again we are beyond excited to honor another group of Hall of Fame inductees," said Trinity Athletic Director Drew Galbraith. "Each new member's unique accomplishments and contributions to Trinity Athletics is truly extraordinary and listening to their stories from their days as a Bantam continue to inspire us all.  This event has proven to be a highlight of the Trinity Athletics year.  We are so glad to honor this particular group and thankful to them for waiting an extra year to be celebrated." 

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 honorees were: Michael Blair '06 for football, wrestling and track and field; Kat Castle Grant '85 for field hockey, squash, and lacrosse; Lindsey Davison Page, for field hockey and lacrosse; former Head Men's Golf and Men's Ice Hockey Coach John Dunham; Scott Growney '81, for soccer and lacrosse; and Denise Jones '80 for swimming and diving, softball, and track and field.  Former Head Field Hockey, Women's Basketball, and Women's Lacrosse Coach and former Associate Athletic Director  Robin Sheppard is a member of the Class of 2021 but deferred her induction until this fall due to the pandemic.  Moe Drabowski '57 and Kathy Ennis Britton '90 are members of the Class of 2022 but have deferred their induction until 2023.

The seven inductees in attendance were introduced on the large video screen, and then each gave an equally inspiring and heart-felt speech about what it meant to him or her to be a Trinity Athletic Hall of Famer. The College presented each honoree with an engraved bronze Bantam trophy marking the occasion. At halftime of Saturday's Homecoming football game, each inductee was additionally recognized in front of the Trinity crowd. The college's planned new athletic center will feature the Hall of Fame prominently.
