Every day is a good day to learn more about UC San Diego, but we've chosen a particular one to spread knowledge with our feature called "Triton Tuesday." Each Tuesday, get the inside scoop with fun facts about Triton athletics, the UC San Diego campus and community, and our beautiful home of San Diego, California, in a "Did You Know?" format.
UC San Diego Athletics has a rich history of success. The Tritons have earned 30 team championships and close to 150 individual championships. In 2013, the UC San Diego Athletics Hall of Fame was established to recognize some of the best teams, scholar-athletes, coaches and staff members to play for the Tritons.
For a scholar-athlete to be eligible, 10 years must have passed since the completion of their eligibility. They must have competed at UC San Diego for a minimum of two years unless the selection committee unanimously decides to waive the rule. Former coaches and staff are eligible after three years of separation or following 25 years of consecutive service.
In total, 34 individuals have been selected for the UC San Diego Athletics Hall of Fame. Women's volleyball has the most inductions with five former players and one former coach inducted in the Hall of Fame.
