Hall Of Fame Nomination Form in PDF Format

The East Carolina Athletics Hall of Fame was initiated in 1974 as an organization to honor those individuals who have, by direct participation in East Carolina University intercollegiate athletics, brought outstanding recognition to themselves and to the University.

The first honorees were inducted during Homecoming festivities at halftime of the East Carolina-The Citadel football game in 1974. Ten members were selected for the first year. Since then, at least one new inductee has been added each year, with the exception of a five-year span in the mid-1980s. This year, Gail Sykes-Clayton, Larry Crayton, Pat Dye and Latonya Hargrove were inducted into the Hall of Fame, bringing the total number of athletes enshrined to 114.

To be selected, a committee of nine persons must vote with two-thirds of those giving their approval. Those five shall be the official selection committee. To be eligible for selection, a person must not have been connected with the University in the capacity to which the nominee is being elected for a minimum of 10 academic years.

Each inductee is honored with their picture and accomplishments in the Hall of Fame Gallery located in the Ward Sports Medicine Building.
