The Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College Athletic Hall of Fame was created in 2016 with the inaugural class inducted in February 2017. Our Athletic Hall of Fame recognizes and honors those individuals who have made exceptional contributions to SMWC athletics, and have continued to demonstrate the values imparted by intercollegiate athletics.
The SMWC Hall of Fame is on display in the Jeanne Knoerle Sports and Recreation Center. Thanks to donors Susan Decker and Vicki Kosowsky, those student-athletes in the SMWC Hall of Fame are on display for all to see. The Hall of Fame honors the memory of their parents, Claude & Patty Decker and Nick & Evelyn Kosowsky.
