Michigan Athletics Announces 7-Person Hall of Fame Class of 2024

Seven former Wolverines will be inducted into the University of Michigan Hall of Honor this year, the school announced Wednesday.

They represent six different teams and span four separate decades. They will be inducted on Nov. 3 after being recognized on the Michigan Stadium field during Michigan’s football game against Oregon the day before.

The 2024 class includes Knox Cameron (men’s soccer), Amanda Chidester (softball), Dan Goldberg (men’s tennis), Curtis Greer (football), Ken Hayward (baseball), Denise Muresan (women’s tennis) and Calvin O’Neal (football).

O’Neal and Greer were teammates for one season. O’Neal was a Wolverine from 1973 to 1976 and was a team captain and All-American as a senior, when he won his third Big Ten title. The linebacker set a program record with 24 tackles in a game against Purdue that season.

Greer (1976-79) was an All-America as a senior. The defensive end and tackling machine won three Big Ten titles before being a first-round draft pick and spending eight years in the NFL.

The Hall of Honor, established in 1978, recognizes athletes, coaches and administrators. Selection criteria include being an NCAA champion or member of a national championship team, All-American, Olympic medalist, member of an Olympic team, professional league champion or medalist/member of a world championship team, NCAA or conference player of the year, conference champion, conference record holder or award winner.

Goldberg (1986-89) is the most accomplished tennis player in program history. The three-time All-American won 127 singles matches, more than any other Wolverine. He led Michigan to the Final Four in 1988 and, individually, was a national runner-up in 1987. He was an assistant coach at Michigan for 12 seasons.

Chidester (2009-12) was a first-team All-American as a junior and was twice named the Big Ten Player of the Year. She played all over the field — catcher, first, second and third base; and outfield — and hit .355 throughout her career. She became the first Wolverine to medal in Olympic softball when she helped the United States win silver at the 2020 Games.

Hayward (1982-85), a three-time All-Big Ten selection, helped Michigan win the Big Ten Tournament and reach the College World Series twice. The infielder holds the program’s career records for games played, batting average (.376) and RBI.

Muresan (2008-11) was a three-time All-American and Big Ten Athlete of the Year as a junior and senior, leading Michigan to Big Ten tennis titles. She won 111 matches, the most in program history at the time of her graduation (currently sixth), and is one of three players in program history to finish a season ranked in the top 10 of the ITA singles rankings.

Cameron (2001-04) is the only player in Michigan men’s soccer history to be named a first-team All-American. In 2003, he led Michigan to the Elite Eight and was named the Big Ten Player of the Year. He scored the most game-winning goals (12) of any Wolverine and ranks third in career points.
