NORMAL -- The 2008 Illinois
State Athletics Hall of Fame class, which was officially announced

ISU's first all-American thrower; Dan Freed, baseball, a 1988
first-team all-Missouri Valley Conference selection; Andy Isaacson,

In addition to the 2008 Hall of Fame class, Jeff Fritzen will be
honored with the Campbell "Stretch" Miller Award. Fritzen is a
longtime bench crew volunteer and former Redbird Club president. The
award is named for Campbell Miller, a former Redbird athlete who
went on to broadcast Illinois State games in the 1940s before
joining the St. Louis Cardinals broadcasting team. The award
celebrates the contributions of those whose main services were not
in playing or coaching but were important to the program's success.
The honorees will be officially induced during the Hall
of Fame banquet at 8 a.m. Oct. 18 in the Brown Ballroom
of the Bone Student Center on the Illinois State University campus. The class will also
be recognized during halftime of the Illinois State-Missouri State
football game later that day. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m.
Tickets for the Hall of Fame ceremony are $25 per person and can
be purchased through The Redbird Club office. To order tickets for
the event or for more information, call Anne Campbell at
309-438-3803.
