The celebration of the newest class of Pioneer Hall of Famers will take place during the
2026 Athletics Reunion Sept 25-26. While this event has taken place around Labor Day in the past, it will be a couple weeks later this year to coincide with a weekend when many of the fall sports teams play at home. It's also the College's
Family Weekend.
The
Grinnell College Athletic Hall of Fame was created in 1995 to recognize the achievements of the College's most accomplished student-athletes, coaches, and administrators. The September event will be the 11th induction ceremony at which time there will be 136 Hall of Famers.
The nine-member Hall of Fame Selection Committee – comprised of alums, faculty and staff members and a student – made the selections.
