SAN ANTONIO – The 2026 Trinity Athletics Hall of Fame class will be inducted during Alumni Weekend this fall and the newest members have been announced by Associate Vice President for Athletics/Director of Athletics Bob King.

In addition to two teams joining the Hall of Fame at Trinity, there were seven individuals selected to the upcoming class to make a total of nine new inductees. The new class consists of the 1963 men's tennis team, the 2016 baseball team, Kyle Altman '09 (men's soccer), David Coney '00 (football), Ryan Cook '08, M'09 (men's diving), Kelsey Falcone '15 (women's soccer), Betsy Gerhardt Pasley '77 (multiple sports/contributor), Emily Jorgens '15 (women's soccer), and Lindsay Smith '03 (women's tennis).

The 1963 men's tennis team was rated one of the Top 10 Men's College Tennis teams by Inside Tennis Magazine and was made up of several previous inductees into the Trinity Hall of Fame, including 1963 Wimbledon Champion Chuck McKinley and 1963 US Open runner-up Frank Froehling. Also on the team were Trinity tennis legends Cliff Buchholz, Miles Cortez, Bobby Joyner, and Butch Newman. These Tigers produced the third straight undefeated season in program history, contributing to what became a record 60-match winning streak.

Trinity's 2016 baseball team won the NCAA III National Championship with a dominating postseason performance, breaking several school records along the way and finishing with a 44-7 overall record. The team won 17 straight games to sweep the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Tournament, the Regional Tournament, and the NCAA III College World Series and bring home the program's first national championship.

Altman earned four All-American awards over his final two seasons and was the SCAC Player of the Year in 2006 and 2007 as well. He led the Tiger men's soccer team to a record of 80-5-2 that included an incredible 35-1-1 conference record and four SCAC Championships. Altman led Trinity to the NCAA Finals in 2007 and the NCAA Quarterfinals in 2005, advancing to the postseason tournament each of his four years.

Coney was an All-American in 1998 and 1999, garnering five different All-America honors from four different organizations – highlighted by being named the 1998 Division III Offensive Lineman of the Year by the Football Gazette. He led Trinity's football team to a 43-4 overall record and a 19-1 SCAC record, winning four SCAC Championships and making three appearances in the NCAA Playoffs. After securing the first postseason win in school history in 1997, Coney led the team to back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Semifinals.

Cook picked up six All-American awards in his four seasons with the Tiger diving team, highlighted by finishing third on the 3-meter board and ninth in the 1-meter competition at the 2005 NCAA Championships. He was a five-time SCAC Champion in diving and was the SCAC Diver of the Year in 2005 and 2008, earning a spot on the SCAC 30th Anniversary Team.

Falcone earned All-America honors from D3soccer.com and the National Soccer Coaches Association of America in both 2013 and 2014, was a three-time All-Region player and a four-time All-SCAC selection who was also named the SCAC Offensive Player of the Year in 2014. She led the team to an 84-4-6 overall record and a perfect 40-0-0 SCAC record to produce four SCAC Championships and four appearances in the NCAA Playoffs. Falcone led the team to its best finish in school history, finishing as the national runner-up in 2013. She ranks in the top five in both Trinity and SCAC history in goals, assists, and points in a career. Falcone earned First Team Academic All-American honors in 2014 as well.

Gerhardt Pasley was one of the founding members of the track & field team and played on the softball team as well. She worked in sports information and at the Trinitonian while at Trinity and went on to be the first female sportswriter at the San Antonio Light. More recently, she took on an enormous project (in both scope and importance) to write a book about the history of women's sports at Trinity. The book, From the Sidelines to the Headlines: The Legacy of Women's Sports at Trinity University, shines a light on how women's sports evolved over Trinity's 150-year history, and in particular, shows how Title IX opened the door for a new era in women's sports nationally and at Trinity.

Jorgens led Trinity to an 84-4-6 overall record and a flawless 40-0-0 record in the SCAC, earning four straight SCAC Championships and making four consecutive appearances in the NCAA Playoffs. She took the team to its best finish in school history in 2013, finishing as the national runner-up. Jorgens earned All-American honors in each of her four seasons with the Tigers, collecting seven different such awards from D3soccer.com and the NSCAA, and receiving recognition as the D3soccer.com Division III Midfielder of the Year in 2013. She also earned the NCAA Elite 90 Award in 2013 and was the SCAC Woman of the Year in 2015. Jorgens was also a two-time Academic All-American® of the Year in Women's Soccer.

Smith earned All-America recognition all four years at Trinity, leading the Tigers to four SCAC Championships, and four NCAA Playoff appearances – including the 2000 NCAA III National Championship and second place in 2001. A member of the SCAC 15th Anniversary Team, Smith also qualified for the NCAA Singles Championships four times and reached the NCAA Quarterfinals in 2000.
