St. Bonifacius, MN - The Crown College Athletics Hall of Fame was created in 2000 in order to honor those who have made outstanding contributions to Crown's athletics heritage. Induction into the Hall of Fame is the highest athletics honor that can be bestowed upon one of its former student-athletes, coaches, and administrators. With the new year we are looking for nominations for the class of 2024.

Hall of Fame Nomination Form

Nominations remain open, and may be submitted to the Nominating Committee by an alumnus, employee or friend of the College at any time of the year. Nominations are welcome and accepted in the same fashion. Nominations will be accepted until March 1 with any nominations after that date considered for the next inductee class. Nominations must be submitted through the online nomination form located on the Crown Athletics website. A maximum of three letters of support (300 words or less) will be accepted and can be submitted through electronic media. Letters of support are not required but are encouraged. Currently 20 former student athletes, coaches, and administrators are in the Crown College Hall of Fame.
