Sagehens Announce 2026 Inductees to Hall of Fame

The Pomona-Pitzer Athletic Program has announced its newest class for the Pomona-Pitzer Athletic Hall of Fame, and this year’s honorees include a standout representative from Pitzer College.

Among the ten former student-athletes selected for induction is Erik Munzer ’13, who will be celebrated for his exceptional contributions to both men’s soccer and baseball during his undergraduate years at Pitzer. Munzer is remembered as “a rare two-sport standout for Pomona-Pitzer,” according to the athletics announcement, excelling on the field and the diamond while exemplifying the Sagehen tradition of competitive excellence and teamwork.

Founded in 1958, the Pomona-Pitzer Athletics Hall of Fame recognizes former student-athletes, coaches, and staff who achieved distinction in competition or provided extraordinary service to the Sagehens. With more than 300 members, the hall honors accomplishments such as All-American status, record-setting performances, and lasting contributions to team success.

Munzer joins nine Pomona alumni in this year’s class, representing sports that include women’s basketball, soccer, swimming and diving, football, and men’s water polo. Over the hall’s 65-year history, 314 individuals and two teams have been inducted, beginning with the inaugural class of 1958 that featured Robert Strehle, Earl Merritt, and John McColl.

The new inductees will be celebrated at an evening reception and dinner this spring, bringing together the Pomona-Pitzer community to honor their athletic achievements and enduring impact on the Sagehens program. For Pitzer, Munzer’s induction highlights the College’s proud role in a shared athletic tradition that continues to shape student-athletes on and off the field.
