The 2009 class includes Valerie (Bingham) Williams, Larry Hocker, Phil Kalbaugh, Kurt Moreillon and Dorcas Stegelmann.

Williams earned four letters in cross country and four in track while at AU and was a team captain in both sports. In cross country, she was named team MVP, All-Conference, NAIA All-American and was a two-time NCCAA All-American.

In track, she was team MVP, All-Conference and a four-time All-American in both indoor and outdoor. She was named the Outstanding Senior Female Athlete in 1991 and still holds the school record in the marathon.

Hocker earned four letters in track, two in wrestling and one in football, but it was on the mat that he earned his reputation and became just the third wrestler inducted into the AU Athletic Hall of Fame. He was also named the Oustanding Senior Male Athlete in 1966.

Hocker was All-Conference, Indiana Little State Champion, team captain and team MVP. During his senior year, he was undefeated and unscored on in dual meets, finishing with a 15-0 record at the 123-pound class. On the track, he was team captain and set the school record in the triple jump, long jump and 330 intermediate hurdles.

He still holds the school record for tackles in a season (168) and solo tackles in a season (91) and ranks third on the career tackles list (303), fourth in solo tackles (151) and assist tackles (152), despite the fact defensive stats weren’t kept before 1978.

Moreillon earned four letters in basketball and was twice All-Conference, All-District, team captain and team MVP. He also played in the Indiana College All-Star game in 1979.

He led the Ravens in scoring for three straight years and is one of only eight athletes to score 600 points in a single season. He is third on the career scoring list (1,733), second in career field goals (766) and fifth in season field goals made (274) in 1978-79.

Stegelmann came to AU in the fall of 1956, an era before women’s sports were recognized by Title IX, the NCAA or NAIA. She received a just a certificate for her participation in athletes at AU. In addition to basketball, softball and tennis, she was also active in the band, piano and the Women’s Recreation Association.
