Registration is open to the public!
Bowling Green, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University Athletics Department will be celebrating the 50th anniversaries of the BGSU Athletics Hall of the Fame and the Falcon Club, while recognizing the University's Heritage Sports Oct. 17-18.
BGSU's Heritage Sports are those sports in which a varsity athletics team is no longer fielded and those sports include men's lacrosse, men's swimming and diving, men's tennis, men's track and field, men's and women's fencing, synchronized swimming, women's lacrosse, women's field hockey, and wrestling.
"These sports…are as much a part of Bowling Green's rich athletic tradition as anything else we have in the archives," Mickey Cochrane, cofounder and curator of the Cochrane Cunningham Archive and Museum, said.
Registration is available online by CLICKING HERE and check-in for Friday's athletic gala event begins at noon. This event is open to the public and registered guests will begin the evening at the Stroh Center with a meet and greet with current Falcon head coaches and student-athletes and tour the future home of the Cochrane Cunningham Archive and Museum (5-6 pm). The evening's main event will be the Legacy Reception and will feature the Hall of Fame, Falcon Club and Heritage sports (6-8:30 pm). More than 50 of BGSU's Hall of Famers will attend the event and it is open to the public. Tickets are available for $50 for Falcon Club members and $65 for non-members.
