HALL OF FAME NOMINATIONS AND ELIGIBILITY
FORWARD: The performances of the past serve as an
inspiration for present and future activities. Yet, unless the achievements are
recorded, they tend to become hazy memories. It is for this reason that we set
forth the following purpose for the Lions Sports Hall of Fame.
PURPOSE: To recognize outstanding contributions to
the athletic program at New Richmond High School by athletes, coaches, athletic
directors and administrators and therefore offer incentive to future
participants in this program.
A. Anyone wishing to make one or several nominations
may obtain nominating petitions at the Athletic Director’s Office.
1. Petitioners must sign petitions or the petition
will be invalid.
2. Petitions must be submitted by the end of November. The committee will meet in December to select inductees.
3. The induction ceremony will take place during basketball season on a date chosen before the start of the current school year.
B. Any past athlete, coach, athletic director, or
administrator is eligible for induction into the Lions Sports Hall of Fame with
these exceptions:
1. An athlete must have earned a Varsity letter
while attending New Richmond. Athletes cannot be considered within the first five
years after his/her graduation date.
2. A coach, athletic director, or administrator is
eligible immediately after retiring or upon leaving the district.
3. A present coach, athletic director, or
administrator is eligible for his/her performance as an athlete at New
Richmond.
4. Outstanding athletic achievement and contribution to athletics is the primary requirement for nomination.
