The Penn State Altoona Athletics Advisory Council announced its third Hall of Fame class this week, as five individuals and one team will join 12 previous inductees.

The induction ceremony is scheduled for Saturday, May 3, inside the Adler Athletic Complex.

Selected are Frank “Junie” Moore (men’s basketball, 1947-49), Reese Piper (men’s basketball, 1971-72), the 2000-01 and 2001-02 women’s basketball teams, Tony Petulla (baseball, 2005-08), Jimmy Baum (baseball, 2009-12) and Cord Heine (baseball, 2009-12). Moore enters the Hall of Fame as a Distinguished Achievement Inductee.

“The Penn State Altoona Athletics Advisory Council is proud to honor our third Hall of Fame induction class this May. This class represents a diverse and dynamic group that highlights some remarkable individual careers, as well as unprecedented team achievements,” said Josh Baker, chair of the Athletics Advisory Council. “Our council and college are proud to induct these special individuals and teams who represent the best of Penn State Altoona on the field, court, classroom, and their communities.”

The advisory council considers many criteria in its inductee selection process. Selection as a regular inductee is open to individuals and teams who have, by participation as undergraduate student-athletes in the program, performed at a high level of athletic excellence.

Distinguished Achievement inductees may earn selection through their involvement or accomplishments in athletics or athletically related areas after attending Penn State Altoona, or by their example, character, and life accomplishments that set standards of excellence worthy of induction. Distinguished Achievement inductees can also be administrators, coaches, or other significant contributors to the success of the program.

“In honoring our rich athletic history at Penn State Altoona, we are excited to welcome a new class to the Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame,” said Brent Baird, Director of Athletics. “This year we honor champions, leaders, and pioneers from our past that we hope inspire our current student-athletes to succeed.”
