Fred Glass announces Hall of Fame class Monday

Fred Glass, vice president and director of IU Athletics, announced Monday seven former IU athletes will be added to the IU Athletics Hall of Fame.

The seven inductees are Antwaan Randle El (football, 1998-2001), Landon Turner (men’s basketball, 1979-81), Michelle Venturella (softball, 1991-95), Dave Martin (Varsity Club director, football, 1959-61), Leanne Grotke (coordinator of women’s athletics, 1972-79), Bobby Robertson (football, 1949-52, baseball, 1954) and Lary Schulhof (swimming, 1962-64).

“These individuals embody the spirit for which administrators, coaches and student athletes are best known at Indiana University,” Glass said in a press release. “IU Athletics has long been a benchmark of excellence both in the classroom and in competition, and these Hoosier greats certainly are responsible for helping establish that.”

The honorees will be inducted into the Hall of Fame Nov. 2. They will be recognized at halftime at the Nov. 3 football game against Iowa at Memorial Stadium.

The IU Athletics Hall of Fame was established in 1982 by the Department of Athletics in conjunction with the Varsity Club and I Association. It honors individuals who have made contributions to IU both on and off the field.
