Former University of Colorado women’s basketball coach Ceal Barry heads the eighth class of the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame, CU announced Saturday.
Barry guided the Buffaloes to 427 wins in 22 seasons from 1983-2005, including 12 NCAA Tournament appearances. Barry will be joined in the Hall by two of her players, Bridget Turner and Tera Bjorklund, who both spent time as the second all-time leading scorer at CU when they graduated.
The other members of the Hall of Fame class are: men’s basketball player Ken Charlton, who led the Buffaloes to back-to-back Big 8 Conference titles and two straight NCAA Tournament appearances in the 1960s; football All-Americans Bob Stransky (1957), Eric Bieniemy (’90) and Cliff Branch (’72), who was also a track star for CU; two-time all-American volleyball player Kelly Campbell; golfer Dale Douglass, who had three top-10 finishes in Big 7 Conference championships; and skier Buddy Werner, who won four individual NCAA titles. Werner will be inducted posthumously, as he died in 1964 in an avalanche in Switzerland.
The group will be inducted into the Hall on Nov. 11 and will be introduced at halftime of the CU-Iowa State football game.
