FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - The Methodist University Hall of Fame selection committee is seeking nominations for consideration to the class of 2009.

The Methodist University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics initiated the Methodist Athletic Hall of Fame in 1997. The selection process is maintained and administered by a committee in conjunction with the Methodist University Athletic Booster Club.

To be nominated, the inductees have to be either athletes, coaches, or administrators who had compiled an outstanding career at Methodist and/or since leaving Methodist. Inductees become eligible for the prestigious honor five years after completing their eligibility and must have been of good character. Coaches and administrators become eligible for nomination two years after leaving the department. Currently, the Methodist Athletic Hall of Fame has 11 classes with 46 members.

Once a person has been nominated, their name remains on the ballot list each year. 

Anyone interested in submitting a nomination should e-mail Kirbie Britt at sportsinfo@methodist.edu the nominee's name along with any supporting information that might assist the committee in their selection.

The 2009 Hall of Fame Induction Banquet will take place Friday, October 16.
