Cedarville University Athletic Hall of Fame
The Cedarville University Athletic Hall of Fame was established in 1984 at the suggestion of the Yellow Jacket Club and with the approval of the school's administrative council. The purpose and objective of the Hall of Fame is to give special recognition to former Yellow Jacket athletes and coaches, who earned significant achievements while at Cedarville; to individuals who have devoted years of faithful ministry to Yellow Jacket athletics through meritorious service; and to alumni who have made a marked contribution to athletics outside of Cedarville University.
While recognizing achievement within the athletic arena, one of the foremost criteria for induction to the Hall is that each individual must possess clear evidence of an ongoing personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
