Fourteen-time NCAA champion swimmer Mary DeScenza, track standout Hyleas Fountain—who won four NCAA individual titles in just two years—football greats George Poschner and Hines Ward, and national championship-winning baseball coach Steve Webber comprise the Class of 2018 for induction into the University of Georgia’s Circle of Honor.
DeScenza, Fountain, Poschner, Ward and Webber will be inducted formally during the Circle of Honor Gala Feb. 8 in the new West End Zone area of Sanford Stadium. The Class of 2018 also will be introduced on the field at Georgia’s football game against Vanderbilt Oct. 6 in Sanford Stadium.
The Circle of Honor is designed to pay tribute to extraordinary student-athletes and coaches who by their performance and conduct have brought honor to the university and themselves, and who by their actions have contributed to the tradition of the Georgia Bulldogs. The criteria for selection also stipulate that each recipient has earned his or her academic degree.
