Oh, what a night! After two long years, on Friday, March 18th, Long Beach City College Athletics finally celebrated and inducted the 17th Class of the Hall of Champions with the Annual Induction Banquet at The Grand in Long Beach. 

The inductees included: Alicia Cobb (Women’s Aquatics), Vern Followell (Baseball), Richard Graves (Cross County/Track & Field), James Murphy (Football, Coach & Professor), Mark Robbins (Football/Track & Field), Derek Santifer (Football), Dr. Grant Uba (Team Physician), Kristian Wintrich (Women’s Volleyball).  It was a privilege to honor the former athletes, coaches, and support personnel who have contributed to LBCC’s great athletic history.

For almost 100 years, athletics has been a source of great pride at Long Beach City College. The tradition of athletic excellence both on and off the field continues today and was displayed on stage by the stories and achievements of the eight inductees, our 2022 LBCC Hall of Champions. As we reflected on the past, it was equally important to cultivate the present and prepare for the future of Viking Athletics. The LBCC community stepped up and showed tremendous support to our current Viking student-athletes by financially supporting the Viking Athletic Club. LBCC Athletics invites you to support our current student-athletes by joining the Viking Athletic Club today, building champions in the classroom, in competition, and of character.
