Bulldog Bench Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame

Through the work of former Director of Athletics Ted Runner and others, the University of Redlands Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame was established in 1983 to acknowledge the accomplishments of the University's most gifted and dedicated student-athletes.

Virginia (Reed) Coffey, class of 1926, helped the Bulldog Bench and Ted Runner to establish the Hall of Fame in 1983 by making the initial contribution. The endowment started by Mrs. Coffey supports the hall, which is located in Currier Gymnasium.

Each inductee is commemorated on a beautiful plaque that is given to the inductee. In 2023, the physical "hall" began migration to a digital format, located inside Currier Gymnasium and providing an interactive and comprehensive experience. Y

The Hall of Fame Selection Committee meets at least three times per year, generally in November, December, and January. All nominations are reviewed by the Selection Committee and new members are approved for induction at the January meeting. Individuals become eligible for induction five years after graduating from the University.

At least one of the following criteria must be met for a nominee to be considered for selection and induction by the Hall of Fame Committee:

A three-year letter-winner in two or more sports
A two-year varsity letter-winner in three or more sports
First Team All-Conference for two years
First Team All-Conference in two sports
An All-American or Little All-American
A member of the US Olympic Team
A World Champion in any sport
A national or world record holder
A National Champion in any sport
Membership may be awarded to any individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the stature of the University of Redlands Athletic Program.

For anyone to be considered for the Hall of Fame, they must be nominated. If you would like to nominate someone, please complete the Hall of Fame form.

Our most recent class of inductees was celebrated during Homecoming weekend on October 17, 2025! You may view the live stream video and/or share it with others. Finally, our photo gallery is now available as well.
