Six athletes to be inducted
CHENEY — After a five-year hiatus, Eastern Washington University will honor six former student-athletes on Oct. 19 as the 20th class of inductees into the Eastern Athletics Hall of Fame taking place in conjunction with EWU’s football game versus UC Davis at Roos Field.
Rodney Stuckey, a two-time honorable mention NCAA Division I All-America selection for the Eagle men’s basketball team (2004-07), will be among those inducted. After setting a myriad of Eastern scoring records, he went on to a 10-year career in the National Basketball Association for Detroit and Indianapolis.
Joining him will be two-time All-America football linebacker Derek Strey (1993-97), high-scoring All-Big Sky basketball player David Peed (1987-90), multi-sport All-Big Sky performer Stephanie Ulmer (2001-06), All-Mountain West basketball performer Cristy Cochran (1982-86) and track and field All-America javelin thrower Carolee Geaudreau-Gutierrez (2003-07).
The induction breakfast and ceremony is expected to start at 8 a.m. on Oct. 19 at the Pence Union Building’s Nysether Community Room on the EWU campus in Cheney, and the public is invited to attend.
Established in 1996, the Hall of Fame has been fixed at 92 individuals and 18 teams following the most recent induction class in 2019.
