Heritage Gallery Hall of Fame
Recognizing the men and women who have represented the ideals of Whitworth University has been a long-standing goal of the Whitworth Athletic Department and its alumni, represented by the Crimson Club. The goal of recognition and celebration of former Pirate coaches, athletes, staff and community contributors was realized in 1990 with the formation of the Heritage Gallery by members of the Crimson Club. Seventy-one individuals and eight teams are currently included in this impressive group. They represent the highest ideals of Whitworth athletics, both on the field and among the community.
