Hall of Fame
About the Hall of Fame
The purpose of the Hall of Fame is to recognize the accomplishments of the many athletes competing in and promoting Senior Olympics at the local, regional, state and national level.
The Hall of Fame also inducts individuals who have provided Meritorious Service to the organization in endeavors other than the athletic competition.
Each year Ohio Senior Olympics seeks nominees for induction to the Hall of Fame. The new class is inducted into the Hall of Fame during a ceremony typically held during the Ohio Senior Olympic State Games competition.
