Baron Davis and Wendell Tyler among eight to be inducted into UCLA Athletics’ Hall of Fame

Former NBA All-Star Baron Davis and onetime NFL Pro Bowl running back Wendell Tyler are among eight athletes who will be inducted into UCLA Athletics’ Hall of Fame on Sept. 30, the school announced Monday.

The Class of 2016 also includes Jule Adams (softball), Jamie Dantzscher (women’s gynmastics), Natalie Golda (women’s water polo), Chris Henderson (men’s soccer), Adam Krikorian (water polo) and Mike Marsh (track and field), making up a collection of All-Americans, NCAA champions, Olympic medalists and professional All-Stars.

The inductees will be honored during the halftime of the UCLA-Arizona football game on Oct. 1 at the Rose Bowl.

The group includes six NCAA champions (Adams, Dantzscher, Golda, Henderson, Krikorian and Marsh) who have combined to win 26 national team and individual championships. Dantzscher, Golda and Marsh have totaled six Olympic medals and Tyler won a Super Bowl with the San Francisco 49ers.

Here is a brief synposis of each athlete’s athletic achievements:

Adams was a two-time All-American and three-year U.S. National Team member who was selected most outstanding player of the 1999 Women’s College World Series after hitting .667 in the tournament and driving in two runs in the championship-game victory over Washington, despite dislocating her left shoulder in the Bruins’ opening game.

Dantzscher won an Olympic bronze medal in 2000 and is believed to be the first NCAA gymnast to score a perfect 10 on her first collegiate routine. She led the Bruins to NCAA team titles in 2001, 2003 and 2004 while winning four NCAA individual titles.

Davis helped lead the Bruins to two appearances in the NCAA tournament before becoming the No. 3 selection in the 1999 draft after his sophomore season. He went on to become a two-time All-Star who also spent 2 1/2 seasons with the Clippers.

Tyler finished his collegiate career as UCLA’s all-time leading rusher with 3,181 yards after vaulting the Bruins over Ohio State in the 1976 Rose Bowl with a 172-yard performance that included a 54-yard touchdown run.
