EDMOND, Okla. - Oklahoma Christian University's Athletics Department will bestow the highest athletics honor on five former Eagle standouts in what will make up the OC Hall of Fame 2025 class.
The 2025 class will include former OC student, coach and athletic director Curtis Janz; softball's Christin (Dobbs) Jedlicka; Rodney Fergason of men's basketball and a pair of track and field stars in Beaul Haynes and Denise Greene.
"What an incredible honor it will be to recognize these five inductees at our Alumni Banquet during the 2025 Oklahoma Christian Homecoming weekend," athletic director David Lynn said. "We look forward to celebrating the amazing accomplishments of these five individuals with them and their families. One of the true joys of my job is to see the impact that OC has had on people's lives 10, 20 and even 30 years later. OC holds a special place in the hearts of so many and getting to relive their accolades and hear about the influential people who impacted them is an incredible experience."
