TULSA, Okla. –– The University of Tulsa's celebrated Athletic Hall of Fame Weekend this past weekend, which consisted of the Blue & Gold Gala, Spring Football Game and the Hall of Fame Ceremony.

The Blue & Gold Gala kicked of the weekend's events on Friday night as the official launch to the new Golden Hurricane Champions Fund, formerly known as the Golden Hurricane Club.

Attendees at Friday night's event celebrated TU athletics with an evening of Las Vegas-style gaming, raffles, bingo, live music, food and drink and a live auction. The auction items included… football trips with the team to the Ole Miss and Navy games, a 2-night stay at the Arrow W. Adventures Cabin at the Westbrook Ranch, a handmade TU quilt made by Ashli Montgomery and a live Buffalo Painting by Chris Mantle.

The 33^rd class of TU's Athletic Hall of Fame was inducted at Saturday night ceremonies. This year's group of inductees included Olympic rower Michelle Sechser, National Champion miler Chris O'Hare, All-America soccer player Ryan Pore, MVC Football Offensive Player of the Year Jeb Blount and legendary basketball coach Tubby Smith. Sechser was unable to attend the event.

The 1971 College World Series Baseball Team was this year's Hall of Fame Honor Team.

The Golden Hurricane Champions Fund, through strong and active membership, provides The University of Tulsa with critical funding to help meet the rising costs associated with operating a top collegiate athletics program. Even with a new look, the mission stays the same –– supporting student-athletes and helping them succeed at the highest levels in the classrooms, on the fields of play and in our communities.
