COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Five former student-athletes from five
different sports were the honored guests Friday night as the
Tennessee Tech Sports Hall of Fame inducted the Class of 2014. The
group included Casey Benjamin (baseball 2001-2003), Stephanie Busch
Warren (volleyball, 1997-2000), Howard Cochran (football, 1969-72),
Dr. Aaron Hupman (rifle, 1971-73), and LeeAnn Mongar Shurette
(softball, 2000-03).
A large crowd of nearly 400 was on hand in the Multipurpose Room
of the Roaden University Center to recognize the inductees,
including current Golden Eagle student-athletes, family members,
members of the Hall of Fame, and more. Each inductee was introduced
with a feature video before accepting and making remarks to the
gathering.
With their addition, the Hall of Fame now numbers 173 former
student-athletes, coaches, administrators and fans who are
enshrined.
The five will also be introduced Saturday during halftime of the
Golden Eagle Homecoming football game against Southeast Missouri.
