Five individuals and three teams make up the Class of 2020. The individuals are Greg Prechtl ('69) of men's basketball, Jordan Basile ('09) of baseball, Walt Hubbard ('93) of basketball, Matt Borchard ('06) from men's soccer, and Sarah Hite-Moore ('05) from women's track and field.
The teams of distinction are the 1981 men's cross country team, the 1985 and 1986 men's soccer teams, and the 1993 men's basketball team. Two of the three teams were previously recognized at past Hall of Fame dinners, but will be officially inducted at this year's event.
The dinner will conclude a weekend of activities geared toward Fredonia State alumni and former student-athletes.
