UP Athletic Hall of Fame Inductees
Submit a nomination for the UP Athletic Hall of Fame
The University of Portland Athletic Hall of Fame, which currently numbers 84 inductees, was instituted in 1991 after a year of planning. In March 1991, the first 20 members of the Hall of Fame were selected by a 10-member committee.
Nominees to the Athletic Hall of Fame must meet several qualifications: if an athlete, the nominee’s athletic eligibility must have been completed at least five years prior to induction. Athletes still active professionally will not be considered for nomination until they formally retire; the nominee must have attended the University for at least two years; if not an athlete, the nominee must have made a significant contribution to the University’s athletic program as an administrator, coach, benefactor, etc.
At present, there are 68 male and female student-athletes in the Hall of Fame, as well as three honorary inductions, six Meritorious inductions, seven coaches and administrators, and one team.
The last Hall of Fame induction came in 2005 with the following honorees:
• Clive Charles, Director of Soccer, 1986-2002
• Justi Baumgardt Yamada, Soccer '97
• Tom Lampkin, Baseball '86
• Frank Bosone, Basketball & Track '62
