"This is certainly a very impressive class of former EKU student-athletes," Director of Athletics Steve Lochmueller said.  "I've had the pleasure of meeting a few Hall of Fame members since becoming Athletics Director in March.  I'm really looking forward to not only meeting this newest class of inductees, but also meeting all the former Colonels that will be back on campus for this special event."
 
Doss received all-conference recognition as a sophomore and as a senior after finishing the season in the top 10 in the conference in four categories.  He finished his stellar career at Eastern as the school's 11th all-time leading scorer and fifth in steals.  Dunn played four seasons for coach Roy Kidd before playing 12 seasons in the National Football League with the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs.
 
Games began her career by capturing the individual title at the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament by four strokes and being named OVC Women's Golfer of the Year.  In her junior season, she captured her second OVC individual title.  Her senior season in 1997 produced her third conference individual championship and OVC Golfer of the Year award.  Kirksey, a three-year starter for the Colonels, is a former NFL coach with 17 years of experience in the league.
 
Moberly was part of two Ohio Valley Conference championship teams and the 1967 Grantland Rice Bowl championship squad.  Moore played three seasons for coach Jim Ward's Colonel baseball team before signing with the Kansas City Royals.  He had an outstanding career at Eastern which led to him holding four single season school records.
 
Olsen began her Eastern career in grand fashion by winning the OVC cross country championship.  She repeated this feat of being named OVC Women's Cross Country Runner of the Year her sophomore and her senior years while helping Eastern run its string of OVC women's cross country titles to 18 in a row from 1982-1999.  Sellers was named an honorable mention All-American her senior season.  She holds two school records - single season hitting percentage and career hitting percentage.
 
Witt ended his career as Eastern's all-time leading scorer with 1,832 points.  He made a bang right out of the gate, being named OVC Freshman of the Year and OVC Rookie of the Week 11 times.
