VESTAL, N.Y. - Binghamton's Athletics Hall of Fame welcomed three individuals and one team at the 22nd Annual Ceremony, held Dec. 2 in the Events Center TAU Bearcat Room. More than 100 guests were in attendance as baseball player Brendon Hitchcock, softball player Mollie Lehman, wrestler Josh Patterson and the 1983 women's cross country team were enshrined. 

The event featured video highlight packages with shared memories from former coaches and teammates and culminated with speeches from each of the inductees. 

"The things you learned as athletes when you were were here and took away with you are probably some of the most important things you learned at Binghamton," University President Harvey Stenger said in his opening remarks. 

Hitchcock, the program's all-time hits leader, a four-time America East all-star and the 2007 conference Player of the Year, became the 10th baseball player to earn entry into the Hall. 

Lehman, a two-time all-region selection who led her teams to postseason berths all four years, is the fourth softball player to reach the pinnacle. 

Patterson, a four-time NCAA qualifier and the program's first Division I All-American, is the 10th wrestler to be voted into the Hall of Fame.

The 1983 cross country team, led by Hall of Fame coach Gary Truce and assistant coach John Colonna, was well represented on Saturday with 10 former members in attendance. The team, which placed fifth at the 1983 NCAA Championship, is the first women's team to be selected.
