Alumni

On a beautiful New Haven evening, with the sun setting over Anthony's Ocean View, Notre Dame gathered on September 26th to honor its newest class of Athletic Hall of Fame inductees. The biannual celebration recognizes players, coaches, and supporters who have shaped our school's rich athletic legacy through their extraordinary contributions.

As each honoree took the podium, their reflections wove together a powerful narrative that extended far beyond athletic achievements. Their stories emphasized not just the impact of sports on their lives, but the transformative power of Notre Dame's community and values. Inductee Joe Patton captured this sentiment perfectly, noting, "As we know, the Holy Cross mission is to inspire excellence and educate the minds and hearts of students. That mission was carried on by the entire Notre Dame community..."
