Whereas for student participants, it might be records set, times achieved, number of victories over their four-year career.” at way, each nominee is measured against peers at their same level, rather than everyone competing against everyone for the same honors.

“We always look to balance induction as we look at accomplishments, schools, classi cations, athletics versus activities, geography, and so many other factors,” Davis said. “As you know, we oversee more than 30 sports and activities. So between coaches, o cials, student participants, administrators, and signi cant contributors, this is not an easy process.”
