The W&J Athletic Hall of Fame was instituted to honor and to memorialize those individuals or teams who have made outstanding contributions to Washington & Jefferson College athletics and who have helped to bring recognition, honor, excellence, and distinction to the College and its intercollegiate athletic programs.

To be eligible for the Athletic Hall of Fame, an alumnus must have participated in two full seasons of varsity intercollegiate competition at W&J. Coaches, athletics trainers, team managers and any other persons who have made outstanding contributions or offered extraordinary service to W&J athletics are eligible. In addition, alumni may be eligible for the Robert M. Murphy Award if they have made outstanding contributions or offered extraordinary service to athletics at W&J after graduation.

The College used the first four years as a charter membership stage of the Athletic Hall of Fame which was established in 1999 by the W&J Alumni Association.


In 2002, the W&J Athletic Hall of Fame revamped the official ceremony which now honors a select group of individuals and a Robert M. Murphy award winner each fall in a ceremony on campus.

The inductees are chosen by the Hall of Fame Committee from a field of typically 75-100 nominees.
