KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The Western Michigan Division of Intercollegiate Athletics and the WMU Hall of Fame Committee enshrined six new members into the school's Athletics Hall of Fame on Friday evening at a ceremony in the Fetzer Center. The class includes
Shawn Faulkner (football),
David Gennero (men's tennis),
Frederika Girsang (women's tennis),
Bill Horn (hockey),
Shaylen Jackson (volleyball) and
Jeff Zylstra (Men's Track & Field).
The Class of 2019 features two Mid-American Conference Players of the Year, two MAC individual champions, one All-America selection and four Michigan natives.
The Western Michigan Athletics Hall of Fame, which held its inaugural ceremony in 1973, has grown to include nearly 200 former student-athletes, coaches and administrators, and for the first time in 2009 a pair of teams.
All nominations are forwarded to the Hall of Fame selection committee for discussion and consideration. Once statistical and biographical information is verified, the balloting process begins. Induction requires a 75 percent majority vote by the selection committee. Nominations for the 2020 induction class will begin being accepted in April.
