WASHINGTON - The Gallaudet University Athletics Department is proud to announce its 2023 Athletics Hall of Fame Class. Over the course of one week the department will introduce one member of the seven-person class each day.
The seven-person class will be released in alphabetical order. Each release will include a brief summary of the inductees' career at GU along with a video of Athletic Director Warren Keller contacting each inductee or member of their family to share the news of being selected to the Athletics Hall of Fame.
At the conclusion of the week, a general overall release about the entire Athletics Hall of Fame class will be shared along with ticket information for the event.Â
Our third inductee of the 2023 Gallaudet Athletics Hall of Fame Class is Alicia Johnson, '14.
Johnson was a four-year letterwinner as a member of the Gallaudet softball team (2010-13). The San Jose, Calif., native was a three-time North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) South Division honoree (2011-13), the latter two years on the first team. In four seasons, Johnson accumulated a .362 batting average, 137 hits, 90 runs, 28 doubles, five triples, five home runs, 87 RBI, 44 walks and 23 stolen bases in 137 games played and 32 wins. In the circle, Johnson made 38 appearances, logged 20 complete games, threw 146.1 innings, recorded 116 strikeouts and picked up five wins. Johnson's best season at the plate came her junior year (2012) as the Bison posted a .420 batting average (42-for-100) and drove in 32 RBI and swiped 14 bases. During Johnson's sophomore season (2011) batted .380 (38-for-100) at the plate and slammed three home runs and 30 RBI. Johnson earned NEAC Softball Student-Athlete of the Week two times in her career.
The 2023 Gallaudet Athletics Hall of Fame event will take place during Homecoming Weekend on campus. The induction ceremony is set for Sunday, Oct. 22, at 11 a.m., in the Peikoff Alumni House ("Ole Jim").
The Gallaudet Athletics Hall of Fame Induction is one of the premier events of the year for the GU Athletics Department. The special event recognizes the individuals, past and present, whose contributions to Gallaudet University Athletics have been deemed worthy of induction into the Gallaudet Athletics Hall of Fame.
To be considered for the Gallaudet Athletics Hall of Fame one must be a former Bison student-athlete, coach and/or contributor that is five years removed from the University. One must be nominated in writing and submitted to the Gallaudet University Athletics Department during an open nomination period. Inductees can be deaf, hard of hearing or hearing. All nominations are then screened and reviewed by the Gallaudet Athletics Hall of Fame committee.
