With over 400 athletes across 18 teams, it is easy to take La Verne’s athletic programs for granted. But as with many great things, our sports came from very humble beginnings.
The University of La Verne inducted eight former student-athletes, as well as the entire 1981 women’s volleyball national championship team, into the Athletics Hall of Fame at a ceremony Saturday at Sheraton Fairplex Hotel and Conference Center.
La Verne junior and stand out golfer Mitch Fedorka earned the 2009 Lee Fulmer Player of the Year Award, given annually to the top golfer in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
The golf team continued their season-long success last Tuesday with a commanding 14-stroke victory over all other conference opponents at their home course, Sierra La Verne Country Club.
