Big Blue fans across the Commonwealth will have a chance to honor the six outstanding student-athletes that make up the 2012 University of Kentucky Athletics Hall of Fame class. The Hall of Fame ceremony will be held on Sept. 14 at 6 p.m. at the Marriott Griffin Gate hotel. Tickets are $100 a person, while supplies last, and include entrance into the reception at 6 p.m., followed by a dinner at 6:45 p.m.

For more ticket information, please contact Elizabeth Briggs by phone a 859-257-1757 or by e-mail at elizabeth.briggs@uky.edu. All ticket orders should be placed by Sept. 5, as dinner seats are limited.

The 2012 class includes former UK student-athletes Derek Abney (football), Leroy Edwards (men’s basketball), J.B. Holmes (men’s golf), Jeff Keener (baseball), Clayton Moss (swimming and diving) and Nancy Scranton (women’s golf).

There is a five-year waiting period – after leaving UK – to be eligible for inclusion into the Hall of Fame and an additional five-year waiting period to have a jersey retired. An individual must be a member of the Hall of Fame to be eligible for jersey retirement. A committee consisting of Hall of Famers, media members, campus representatives, and current coaches and administrators elects new inductees each year.
