Bakersfield College will be having their 30th annual track and field and cross country hall of fame induction ceremony on March 22.

Along with inducting 10 former Renegade coaches and players, they will be awarding two plaques. Michael Tivnon will be awarded the “Life-Time of Service to Bakersfield College Athletics” plaque and Gary Frank will be awarded the “2012 Bill Heffernan Memorial Track and Field Official of the Year” plaque.

The social will begin at 6 p.m. in the cafeteria in the Campus Center. The dinner will be served at 6:45 p.m. and the award ceremonies will follow. The dinner price is $35 and partly tax deductible.

They will also be solemnly acknowledging Renegades who passed away in the past year, such as former track coach and former college president John Collins, track official Lucille Sautter and hall of fame athlete Leon Harris.

Bill Covey commented on the event.

“We’ve been doing this for 30 years,” he said. “We’ve had a lot of great players and coaches and it’s nice to honor them.

“Some of these guys haven’t been back to BC in a while, so it brings them back memories,” he said. Covey added that he originally started the ceremony 30 years ago because he wanted to see how many people would be interested in an event like this.
