a reigning National Coach of the Year who also starred here as a player;
two other current MIAC head coaches;
one NCAA individual champion, and another NCAA runner-up;
a three-time volleyball All-America;
multiple student-athletes who played on top-five NCAA team finishers;
a two-sport star who contributed to teams that won 13 of a possible 14 MIAC regular-season and playoff crowns;

multiple CoSIDA Academic All-Americas.

St. Thomas has inducted Hall members every three years since its first induction class in 1974. The overall Hall now includes 213 individuals.
