"We welcome nominations for the 2020 Cal Poly Pomona Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame," said CPP Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Brian Swanson. "The opportunity to honor and recognize distinguished members of our Broncos family and grow our Hall of Fame membership will be a truly inspirational day. With generations of championships, I know there will be an outstanding class coming to Cal Poly Pomona for "Induction Saturday" on February 29, 2020. 

The Broncos relaunched the Hall of Fame in 2014 during the University's 75th Anniversary and currently celebrates the induction of a new class of honorees every other year.  Inducted in 2014 were Karen Miller (tennis coach), Jim Sackett (track and field coach), Ruth Van't Land-Parks (soccer), Tabreshia C. Lawrence-McIntyre (track and field), and Lisa Ulmer (basketball). The 2016 Inductees included Jeff Bonds (men's basketball), Debra Larsen (women's basketball, track & field), Tony Reyes (cross country), and Mark Wiley (baseball). In 2018, Matt Blaty (cross country/track & field), Ann Lebedeff (tennis), Lauri McIntosh (Powell) (women's basketball), John Wiegmann (football) and the first team at CPP to win a National Championship, the 1976 baseball team.

CPP features a storied history of athletics success that includes legendary coaches, Olympic stars and championship performers. The Broncos will host the "Celebration of Champions" and recognize the current 65 members along with the induction of a new class on Saturday, February 29, 2020.  The Brunch and Ceremony will be held at Kellogg West Conference Center & Hotel on the CPP campus.
