People who carry the habits learned in practice and competition into families, communities, and vocations all over the world.鈥�

Gash concluded his remarks by speaking directly to the 2025 inductees: 鈥淭o our newest Hall of Famers: your names now join a lineage of Waves whose excellence has left a mark on this university and on the world.
