The University of Maryland athletics department and the M Club will induct eight exceptional Terrapins into the University of Maryland Athletics Hall of Fame on Friday.

"This is a tremendous class of Hall of Famers, including Terps who were National Players of the Year in their respective sports and others who became the first to achieve an accomplishment in their sport,” said Damon Evans, Barry P. Gossett Director of Athletics. “Each of these Terps has made an undeniable impact on Maryland Athletics both on and off the field."  
  
Founded in 1982 by the M Club and developed with the Athletics Department, the Maryland Athletics Hall of Fame represents the highest athletic honor the university can bestow.  
  
The M Club will also present Honorary M Awards to kinesiology Professor and Faculty Athletics Representative Bradley Hatfield, Assistant Women’s Lacrosse Coach Lauri Kenis and former Terrapin Club president Scott Weitz ’90 for their longtime dedication to Maryland Athletics. Harvey Sanders ’72 will be honored as Distinguished Citizen of the Year in recognition of his years of support of Maryland student-athletes.
