Bronx, N.Y. - Today we continue to introduce the Fordham Athletic Hall of Fame, Class of 2021, recognizing the former student-athletes and coaches who will be honored, as we move into the Colonel Francis B. Messmore Aquatics Center to recognize one of women's swimming's all-time greats, Caitlin Napoli. She joins water polo's Ali Arat, former head rowing coach Ted Bonanno, women's basketball's Abigail Corning, and softball's Jocelyn Dearborn, men's basketball's Jay Fazande, and men's soccer's Ryan Meara in the class of 2021. They will be among the 13 inductees who will be announced over the next two weeks.
 
Napoli will join the likes of Frankie Frisch, Vince Lombardi, Wellington Mara, Charlie Yelverton, Anne Gregory O'Connell, and Vin Scully in the Fordham Athletics Hall of Fame. The new class is scheduled to be inducted on 2021 Homecoming weekend on Thursday, October 7, on the Rose Hill campus. Specifics will be released when available.
 
As part of the ceremony, Fordham will also present the Victory Bell Award as well as honor all current Fordham Athletic Hall of Famers. The Victory Bell will be presented to an individual or individuals who have brought distinction and honor to Fordham University Athletics through achievements not related to competition, coaching and/or administration. The honoree(s) will be selected by the Hall of Fame Committee and will embody a sense of leadership and passion for Fordham Athletics and serve as inspiration to the Fordham Athletics Family.
