An elite basketball shot blocker, standout soccer midfielder, track sprint champion and record-setting volleyball team will be inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame this September. Selected to be enshrined are Nick Billings '05 (basketball), Gary Boughter '77 (soccer), Jessica Hennig '13 (track) and the 1995 women's volleyball team. The event will be presented by UHS Sports Medicine.

Billings, a native of Kodiak, Alaska, was one of the nation's top shot blockers at seven-foot, and graduated among the NCAA top-10 in career blocks. A two-time America East all-conference selection and 2003 Defender of the Year, Billings still owns every Binghamton shot blocking record and also ranks among the program's top-10 in rebounds and points.

Boughter started every game during his four-year career and led his soccer teams to three consecutive NCAA tournaments (1973-75) and an ECAC Championship in 1976. A team captain and MVP, he was a two-time all-conference and two-time all-state selection. He was selected as the department's Jake Pitler Award winner in 1977.

Hennig was a four-time America East 400 meter champion and an eight-time all-conference runner. She was the University's Athlete of the Year in 2011-12 and advanced to the NCAA Regionals as a senior. Hennig graduated holding three individual records plus two more relays. 

The 1995 volleyball team went 40-9, captured the program's first-ever SUNYAC and New York State titles and became the first to reach the NCAA Division III tournament. The team upset heavily favored region powers Cortland and Rochester to win the two crowns. Led by SUNYAC and NYS Coach of the Year Sheryl Sousa, the Colonials won 18 consecutive matches and also set a school record for season win percentage (82%).
