Queensbury UFSD Launches Athletics Hall of Fame

Queensbury Union Free School District will be recognizing and honoring athletes, coaches, teams, administrators, staff and community members who have significantly contributed to the district’s athletic program with an Athletics Hall of Fame.

The Athletics Hall of Fame committee will be accepting nominations through April 1, 2023; inductees will be notified by mid-June, and a ceremony will be held in October. To be considered for the inaugural class, nominees must have graduated from Queensbury High School in 2000 or earlier, and/or participated in athletics at QUFSD during the 20th century.

“It’s an opportunity to appreciate and recognize the successes of our athletes of the past, and introduce their accomplishments to a new generation of Queensbury athletes” said Richard Keys – the director of Health, PE, and Athletics.

The district’s sports information analyst Tim Jones said, “Researching the history of Queensbury athletics revealed so many wonderful stories in addition to the outstanding numbers and statistics. There are a lot of people that… seem to be unaware of this rich, deep history that could motivate today’s and future student athletes to reach higher for their goals.” 

“We are very excited to be able to have our first ever Hall of Fame Event. This will acknowledge the athletes that are so deserving for committing themselves to the Queensbury school district” said Superintendent Kyle Gannon.
