BEAVER FALLS, Pa. -- The Geneva College Athletics Department is pleased to announce its 2020 Legacy Hall of Fame Class, the fifth class of former student-athletes, coaches and supporters that has been inducted into the Geneva College Athletics Hall of Fame. The 2020 Legacy Class includes 35 inductees who made significant contributions to Geneva College Athletics during their time on College Hill .
This class represents the culmination of almost two years of work by the Legacy Class Committee and represents many Geneva College student-athletes that competed prior to 1970 and excelled in their sports but played at a time when stats were not well kept. The group also includes several coaches, administrators and supporters of the Golden Tornadoes, with the inductees dating back as far as the late 1890s. The Legacy Committee will continue to nominate people in the categories of student-athletes, coaches, administrators and supporters to add to the yearly Hall of Fame class inductions.
