On Dec. 22, 1960 at 8:30 p.m., Warrior Athletics participated in its inaugural sporting event, a men’s basketball game in the Turlock City League.
The opponent, the Turlock Jr. Chamber of Commerce, was no doubt a far cry from current NCAA Division II competition, but the game was the beginning of what was to be a rich athletic history at CSU Stanislaus. So much athletic talent has filtered through CSU Stanislaus over much of the past 50 years, bringing 14 NCAA Championships in golf and baseball, 23 conference championships, countless All Americans, and endless Warrior pride. Who can forget Rusty Kuntz and his seven-year career in the big leagues, Jim Bowen coaching the baseball team to back-to-back NCAA titles, Shannon Donnelly setting more than 30 women’s basketball records, Jim Hanny’s golf teams winning 12 National Championships, the softball team claiming the Regional Championships in 2007, and countless other feats? With so many accomplishments to honor, Warrior Athletics inducted its inaugural Hall of Fame class in 2000. Since then, more than 50 individuals have been selected to achieve the highest honor that those associated with CSU Stanislaus sports can attain. A lot has changed at CSU Stanislaus since the University moved to its current location in 1965, but the following sampling of four Hall of Famers agreed that the University’s advancement of its grounds and facilities has brought CSU Stanislaus into a new echelon of academic distinction. “The campus went from two buildings with no grass and no trees when I was a freshman to the physical beauty it has become today,” said Dave Gomes, a member of the 2000 inaugural Hall of Fame Class. “It’s completely night and day.” In the spirit of catching up with some of the greatest contributors to Warrior Athletics, what follows is a capsulated listing of four Hall of Fame inductees, what they were able to accomplish, what they’re up to now, and their answers to perhaps the most commonly asked question in the 50-year history of Warrior Athletics. |
