Hartnell College Athletics seeks nominations from the community at large to identify those special individuals who left a mark in Hartnell Athletics.
“We are proud to acknowledge the incredible student-athletes, coaches, officials, teams, volunteers and supporters who have made outstanding contributions to our institution,” said Director of Athletics Dan Teresa.
The nomination form and guidelines are available on the Hartnell Athletics webpage hartnellpanthers.com/Tradition/Hall_of_Fame.
