University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown

Legacy of Athletics Excellence

Pitt-Johnstown’s rich athletic legacy is the result of the dedicated student-athletes and coaches who have achieved tremendous success and brought local, regional, and national attention to our programs.

Pitt-Johnstown Athletics Hall of Fame

To celebrate their contributions to our legacy, the Pitt-Johnstown Athletics Hall of Fame was established in 2007. The inductees, through their achievements as athletes, community members, and citizen-leaders, have earned a prominent place in our history. All Hall of Fame inductees are included on the "Wall of Fame" in the Sports Center's new Hall of Fame room.
