For the fourth year, Anoka-Ramsey Community College celebrated star athletes with an Athletic Hall of Fame Ceremony in February. The event is connected outstanding alumni athletes to the current Anoka-Ramsey Community College community.

“Through the process of selecting the exceptional alumni athletes to be inducted in the Hall of Fame and planning the induction ceremony, the committee is maintaining and building relationships with alumni and the community. This is something we haven’t had the resources to do before the tradition of the Hall of Fame,” said David Alto, Anoka-Ramsey athletics director.

“Our president, Kent Hanson, has a passion for the Hall of Fame event and his leadership in helping the department get everything up and running for the first year and this year has played a vital role in making the Hall of Fame an Anoka-Ramsey athletic tradition,” Alto concluded.

The Athletic Hall of Fame was initiated in 2016 to honor athletes, coaches and community members who have made meaningful contributions to Anoka-Ramsey Golden Rams athletic programs.
