The University of Minnesota’s M Club, one of the nation's largest and oldest varsity letterwinner clubs, today announced its 2018 Hall of Fame class. The nine-person class represents nine different Gopher programs, 26 All-America honors and nine national titles (individual and team). These Gopher greats will be officially added to the more than 350 current members of the Hall of Fame during the M Club Hall of Fame banquet on September 13 in the DQ Club Room at TCF Bank Stadium.
“It takes a special athlete to make a college team and earn a letter. To reach that level, where everyone is exceptional in some way, and then to become a stand out, to break records and earn awards and win championships, that level of greatness is what the nine people entering our Hall of Fame this year represent,” said M Club Interim Director Quincy Lewis. “The M Club Hall of Fame recognizes the most exceptional individuals in our department’s long history. Inclusion in the Hall of Fame is the most prestigious honor Gopher Athletics can present to an alumni athlete. I could not be more proud to present that honor to each person in this year’s Hall of Fame class.”
Listed alphabetically by last name, the M Club’s 2018 Hall of Fame class includes:
Heather (Dorniden) Kampf (Women’s Track and Field) – First NCAA champion in program history, two-time NCAA runner-up, program-record nine-time All-American.
Damion Hahn (Wrestling) – Three-time Big Ten champion and two-time national champion as an individual, to go along with his teams winning three Big Ten titles and two national titles.
Laurence Maroney (Football) – All-American, two-time All-Big Ten, second in program history in career rushing yards despite only playing three seasons.
Janel McCarville (Women’s Basketball) – Two-time First Team All-American, four-time All-Big Ten, member of program’s lone Final Four team (2004).
James McLean (Men’s Golf) – NCAA champion (program’s first in 54 years), two-time All-American, two-time First Team All-Big Ten.
Pam (Miller) Dombeck (Volleyball) – Two-time All-Big Ten, graduated as the program’s career leader in blocks and kills, held career blocks record for 24 years.
Chris Paulos (Softball, Field Hockey) – Four-time letterwinner in both sports, all-time career, single-season and game-winning goals leader for field hockey.
Jim Peterson (Men’s Gymnastics) – NCAA champion, five-time All-American, eight-time individual Big Ten champion, member of three Big Ten championship teams.
