VESTAL, N.Y. - Binghamton Athletics welcomed in its 29th Annual Hall of Fame class in a breakfast ceremony Saturday morning at the Events Center. The Class of 2025 includes basketball center Nick Billings '05, soccer midfielder Gary Boughter '77, track sprinter Jessica Hennig '13 and the 1995 women's volleyball team. The Induction Ceremony highlighted homecoming weekend across campus. 

"It's a pleasure to congratulate our new inductees," Director of Athletics Eugene Marshall, Jr. said in his opening remarks. "You have laid the foundation for this athletics program to grow and prosper. One thing about Binghamton student-athletes ... they understand who they are, where they are and where they're going. We do well in the classroom ... we win championships ... and we do well in the community. But more importantly, our student-athletes do well in the future. Having our Hall of Fame inductees come back and show how extremely successful they are in their chosen fields and professions ... it reinforces how great this institution is. To our Hall of Fame inductees ... you are the bedrock from which our success stands on. Enjoy this weekend and know you had a hand in moving this program along. Congratulations and Go Bearcats!!  

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%).
