Garnet Athletics Hall of Fame 2019

The 2019 Class of the Garnet Athletics Hall of Fame was inducted Oct. 4 during Garnet Weekend, as the athletic department welcomed in four former student-athletes, one athletic trainer, and one team.

Joining the Hall were MLB pitcher George “Moose” Earnshaw, Class of 1923; longtime trainer Ruff Herndon; soccer and track star Caitlin Mullarkey ’09; five-time All-American swimmer Cathy Polinsky ’99; three-sport captain Michelle Walsh ’98; and the 1974 men’s soccer team.

Established in 2012, the Garnet Athletics Hall of Fame honors the student-athletes and administrators who have contributed to the College’s success. The 2019 class was chosen from more than 200 nominations by a selection committee of administrators, coaches, and alumni for their significant and distinctive impact on Swarthmore College athletics and the College itself.
