September 20, 2010
Per a WKU release:
Four former Western Kentucky University athletes and one Hilltopper coaching legend will be inducted as the 20th class into the WKU Athletic Hall of Fame in ceremonies set for Homecoming Weekend this fall.
The members of the 2010 class are: Chuck Durrant (track); Al Ellison (men’s basketball); Tellis Frank (men’s basketball); Coach Bill Powell (swimming & diving); and Joey Stockton (football).
The induction of the 2010 class will bring to 122 the number of former WKU athletes and coaches who have earned berths in the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame since its founding in 1991.
The 2010 class will be inducted in ceremonies during the annual W-Club Homecoming Brunch, set for 10 a.m. (CT), Saturday, Oct. 30, on the Main Floor of E.A. Diddle Arena on the WKU campus in Bowling Green.
Tickets for the event, which is open to the general public, are $15 each and can be purchased and/or reserved online at www.alumni.wku.edu/wclubbrunch10 or by calling 1-888-WKU-ALUM (1-888-958-2586) or, locally in the Bowling Green area, 745-4395; or, by contacting either W-Club Treasurer Bill Edwards (270-745-6026; [email protected]) or W-Club Secretary Paul Just (270-792-4247; [email protected]).
