Legendary Tennessee Track & Field coach Stan Huntsman is inducted posthumously into the Tennessee Athletics Hall of Fame. His late wife, Sylvia, delivered remarks on his behalf.
In 15 seasons at the helm of Tennessee track & field and cross country, Stan Huntsman led the Volunteers to 31 Southeastern Conference titles (11 cross country, seven indoor, 13 outdoor), including eight consecutive outdoor championships in his first eight years at Tennessee. Huntsman guided the Vols to their first-ever team national championship in 1972 when UT claimed the NCAA Cross Country National Championship. He followed that up with Tennessee's first-ever NCAA Track & Field Championship when the team won the 1974 NCAA Outdoor title.
Huntsman passed away on Nov. 23, 2016.
