HOW MANY ARE INDUCTED EACH YEAR?
Twelve Green Wave athletes and coaches were inducted in the inaugural Class of 2017 and twelve more athletes were inducted both Oct. 27, 2018 and Nov. 2, 2019. Induction classes were also selected for induction in 2023 and 2024.

WHY WASN'T YOUR NOMINATION CHOSEN FOR INDUCTION?
With many thousands of athletes and hundreds of coaches and teams to consider, from more than a century of Green Wave sports, the standards are very high for our inductees. The AHOF board of directors makes every effort to choose the very best of the best for induction, while respectfully recognizing the Green Wave careers and achievements of so many others who have made their mark in NMHS sports.
