Paul Goodrich ’90, Lew Lenkaitis ’65, Caroline Gaver Maine ’50, Jenny Mak Culbertson ’89, Greg Murphy ’76 and Kevin Tatar ’90 will join 159 other athletes who have been inducted into the university’s Athletics Hall of Honor, Oct. 6-8, during Homecoming Weekend.

A men’s soccer midfielder, Goodrich became the first four-time all-conference honoree in the program’s history when he turned the trick each year between 1986-89. Ranking fourth in career goals and second in career assists in school history, Goodrich also garnered All-America awards in 1987 and 1989.

Wittenberg compiled a phenomenal 33-1-1 overall record between 1961-64 while offensive tackle Lenkaitis was a member of the team. The Tigers won two undisputed national championships and four OAC titles in that time. After the 1964 season, Lenkaitis earned all-conference honors and garnered recognition from three organizations that named All-America teams.

Maine was a multi-sport standout at a time when women’s athletics were not widely promoted. An active participant in numerous intramural sports at Wittenberg, including volleyball, basketball and softball, she was best known for her tennis ability, winning multiple regional tournaments, including Springfield’s city championship.

Culbertson was a standout in the Red & White from 1985-88. A three-time team MVP, three-year team captain and four-time All-OAC honoree while leading the Tiger volleyball program to a pair of winning campaigns, Culbertson held the record for kills in a season when her career ended and earned three varsity letters in softball.

Murphy joins his father Ron Murphy, longtime university student-athlete, athletics administrator and coach in the Athletics Hall of Honor. A two-time all-conference performer and team MVP honoree, Murphy became the first Tiger baseball player to hit .500 in a season in 1976. His .509 average that season still ranks second in school history.

Tatar compiled a career record of 29-5 with a 2.30 earned run average and 219 strikeouts, and posted the greatest pitching season in school history with an 11-0 record, a 1.17 ERA, 64 strikeouts and just 16 walks in 1990. He was named North Coast Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Year and first-team NCAA Division III All-America after the season.
