Well-known radio personality Sam Madonia will serve as master of ceremonies for the banquet. The Athletic Hall of Fame recognizes and celebrates the long and exemplary history of athletics at Lincoln College.

Honored in the inaugural Hall of Fame class are alumni Jan Bowers, Class of 1981; Matt Hughes, Class of 1995; the late Tom Flynn, Class of 1962; former coaches Joni Comstock and Charles Lindstrom; the late Jack D. Nutt, president of Lincoln College from 1982 to 2002; and the late Dominic "Doc" Guzzardo and his son John, longtime friends and supporters of Lincoln College athletics.

In naming the large inaugural class, the Hall of Fame committee made a special effort to select individuals whose accomplishments and involvement represent as much of Lincoln College's athletic history as possible.

The Lincoln College Athletic Hall of Fame recognizes student athletes, teams, coaches, managers, administrators, faculty, staff and friends who have distinguished themselves in the field of athletics at Lincoln College, either by their performance on an athletic team or by meritorious efforts in supporting the athletic program at the college.
