The Pomona-Pitzer Athletics Hall of Fame began in 1958 with three members inducted into the inaugural class: Robert Strehle (track and field), Earl Merritt (football, baseball, basketball and track) and John McColl (football, basketball, track and field).
A total of 320 people and two teams have earned their way into the Pomona-Pitzer Hall of Fame in its 65 years of existence, with the 1992 Women's Tennis National Championship team earning an induction as a group in 2002 as well as the 1987 Men's Track and Field 4x400 meter relay team. The Hall of Fame committee votes each year from nominations among student-athletes who are 10 years or more removed from their final seasons of competition. In addition, important figures in Pomona-Pitzer Athletics history can earn inductions into the Hall of Fame as an honorary member or for distinguished service.
The Spring 2026 ceremony will be held on Thursday, April 30th, 2026 in the Edmunds Ballroom at Pomona College. The Hall of Fame Reception will begin at 6:00 PM with the dinner starting at 6:30 PM.
