WELCOME TO OUR INDUCTEES

Today we acknowledge the contributions these individuals have made to the

Fayetteville-Manlius Athletic community. It is not only an afternoon to recognize

achievements, but a day to honor character, for what else could lead to such outstand-

ing achievement?

The lives of our inductees clearly indicate that personal integrity, commitment

to ideas, dedication to work and passion for a field of study, perseverance and hard

work form the basis for their accomplishments. These individuals nurtured by loving

families, guided by teachers and coaches, and surrounded by a supportive community

now shine as examples to current Fayetteville-Manlius student athletes.

Let us applaud these inductees as they pave the way for our current as well as

future members of the Fayetteville-Manlius Athletic community.
