Announcing the Hall of Honor: The Pinnacle of Group Success

The ultimate honor for anyone in our group is getting their name on the Memorial Cup, especially if it's more than once!  But to make an honorary group even more special, I decided to celebrate participation from those of us who achieved All-American status, an American (or National) Record, or have been on an Olympic Team AND participated at one of our Tournament and Reunion Events.  The results of months of meticulous research (actually months of procrastination and 10 minutes of actually looking things up!) shows Steve Balkey is the penultimate Penn State Track and Field Alumni Golfer.  Congratulations Steve for being a multiple All-American and winning the Tournament twice!  The Hall of Honor (in alphabetical order):
