Biographical Information on more than 200 CSC Athletes 1983-Present $15 Foreword This book was originally printed in observance of the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Athletic Hall of Fame at Chadron State College in 2008. It was done to help Eagles’ followers know more about those who helped give the college its rich athletic tradition. Considerable time has been spent updating and improving the information that was released at the time the inductions into the Hall of Fame were made. The book was updated in the summer of 2010 to include the 2009 inductions and it will continue to grow as more inductions are made. As noted above, the Hall of Fame was founded by Ross Armstrong in 1983, when 32 inductions were made. Although he consulted with long-time fans, former coaches and numerous athletes in making the selections, he continued to make a majority of the hall of fame decisions until his death in 1990. Since then, the selection committee has included Con Marshall, the college’s sports information director from July 1969 through July 2007; Brad Smith, the CSC athletic director since 1987; Dr. Pat Colgate, who has been have continued to have a close relationship with the Eagles since they were CSC athletes. Alex Helmbrecht, the affiliatedcurrent CSC with sports CSC athleticsinformation since director, 1965; and and Frank John Axtell, Ferguson the andlongtime Randy voice Bauer, of theboth Eagles Hall of on Fame KAAQ/KQSK, members are who also on the committee. In making the selections, the committee has considered both the athletic achievements and the accomplishments of the athletes since their days of participation ended. A few former CSC coaches also have been inducted, along with several individuals who have provided meritorious service. Readers will notice that considerably more has been written about some of the hall of fame members than others. Fans should understand why that happened. More statistics are available and more honors are awarded in some sports and for some positions than others. Regardless of the amount written everyone in the Hall of Fame is to be congratulated on his or her membership. It is a special honor. Of course, not all the outstanding CSC athletes by any means are in the Hall of Fame. But anyone who has represented the college in an athletic event should have a sense of pride for having been an Eagle. It’s an experience many others would have liked to have had.
