UW-La Crosse Athletics Wall of Fame
The UW-La Crosse Wall of Fame was established in 1969 to pay tribute and deserved recognition to former student athletes, coaches and friends of the university. It is intended to enhance school tradition by honoring those individuals who have displayed exceptional ability while on the campus. The Athletic Merit Award was renamed the Donald A. (Sandy) Gordon Athletic Merit Award in 1996 thanks to an endowment gift given by the Gordon estate.
The Wall of Fame Committee welcomes nominations for the Wall of Fame. Consideration is based on outstanding athletic accomplishments while at UW-L. Athletes must have completed competition 10 years or more prior to consideration. Past UW-L coaches and athletic administrators may also be nominated. Deceased nominees will be considered.
