CU ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME The University of Colorado started an Athletic Hall of Fame in 1998, initiat- ing the process by inducting one member, the late Justice Byron R. “Whizzer” White. Including the 2019 class, 122 individuals and one national championship team will have been inducted overall. In conjunction with the Hall of Fame, CU also honors athletes who have been standout performers. So far, 36 such athletes have had their jerseys, and thus careers, honored and recognized. Twenty met the automatic criteria to be honored in 1998 (three-time all-conference selection, two-time All American, trophy winner and/or previously retired jersey). All Hall of Fame members and those athletes who have been honored are recognized with a display case in the Dal Ward Athletic Center on the CU-Boulder campus. Three of CU’s star athletes of the 1930s posed for a photo at the second Hall-of-Fame The late Byron White addresses the crowd event.
