A class of eight College of Wooster greats have been selected for induction into the W Association Hall of Fame. Additionally, for the first time, the W Association has selected a team for induction, and that team is the Fighting Scots' national champion 1975 men's golf team.

The W Association Hall of Fame induction ceremony is set for Friday, Sept. 19 at 6:30 p.m. at Scheide Music Center's Gault Recital Hall as part of the College's Homecoming for Alumni and Families Weekend. A reception will follow the induction ceremony. The hall of fame ceremony and reception is free to attend. Registration is kindly requested to aid with planning for the event. You can register HERE.

Individuals chosen for induction are Brendan Callahan '03, Doug Dye '73, Katie Ewig DiNardo '97, Nora Land Murphy '86, Sara Shumar Timken '92, Mark Stanley '91, Kymberly (Wenz) Warren '10, and Jeffrey D. Waugh '89.

Callahan was a two-time NCAA Div. III Championships qualifier in cross country, earned two North Coast Athletic Conference Athlete of the Year honors, and graduated as a six-time NCAC champion. Callahan collected 10 All-NCAC honors during his career.

Dye was the first of now 14 Scots to either be drafted or sign a professional contract with a Major League Baseball franchise. He earned three All-Ohio Athletic Conference honors as an outfielder and pitcher.

Ewig DiNardo helped Wooster's 1996 field hockey team to a berth in the NCAA Div. III Championship and earned All-America honors. The senior was part of all four of Wooster's goals in a 4-0 shutout over DePauw University, which clinched the program's spot in the NCAA field. She scored a goal and passed out three assists in the win.

Land Murphy helped lead Wooster's volleyball team to a NCAA Div. III Championship appearance and the NCAC title in the inaugural year of the conference. She also played on two of the College's early softball teams. Land Murphy helped Wooster to a volleyball program-record 41 wins as a junior and earned All-NCAC honors.

Shumar Timken was one of Div. III's elite breaststrokers in the late 1980s and early 1990s, earning nine All-America honors and helping the Scots finish as high as sixth at the national championships. She had the seventh-most All-America honors in program history upon graduation and was the fourth Scot to earn five individual All-America certificates.

Stanley was instrumental in building Wooster's storied men's basketball team into a national contender on an annual basis. He scored 1,051 points in his collegiate career and helped the program to its first NCAA Div. III Championship appearance since 1978 as a senior.

Warren was a finalist for the coveted Jostens Trophy as a senior after finishing 14th nationally with 20.8 points per game. The women's basketball standout scored 1,558 points, a record 541 of which came as a senior. She had a 17.1 per-game average over her Scots' career.

Waugh placed sixth in the pole vault at the Div. III Championships as a senior and was a two-time national qualifier. The two-time NCAC champion set a new conference record, clearing 15 feet at the indoor league championships as a senior.

Wooster's 1975 men's golf team recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of its national championship. Wooster came from behind to edge Hampden-Sydney College for the Div. III crown at the inaugural Div. III Men's Golf Championship. Wooster's winning score of 907 was led by Mike McKeon '75, the individual runner-up, at 224. Mike Schneider '77 placed sixth at 225. Greg Nye '78 was eighth at 226. Wooster's lineup also included Steve Bamberger '76 and Rodger Loesch '77, who shot 232 and 239, respectively.

Complete profiles on Wooster's W Association Hall of Fame class will be posted on the athletics website across the first three weeks of September leading up to the induction ceremony.
