ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville athletics department officially inducted its newest additions to the prestigious UNC Asheville Athletics Hall of the Fame on Saturday, Sept. 23, 2017.

The 2017 class is comprised of track and field legend Micki Logue (2000-04), men's soccer great Mark Magee (1985-88) and longtime supporters Ben and Shirley Snyder (1977-2017).

Logue was a tremendous distance runner for the Bulldogs. She won the Big South Indoor Championship in the mile in 2004. She also earned All-Conference honors with a 10th-place finish at the 2002 Big South Cross Country Championship. Logue excelled in the classroom as well during her time as a Bulldog as she claimed three Big South Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards, taking home the honor in 2002 (Indoor Track and Field), 2003 (Cross Country) and 2004 (Outdoor Track and Field). Logue was named to the 2003-04 CoSIDA Academic All-America Women's Cross Country/Track and Field third-team.

Magee played multiple positions during his time at UNC Asheville, ending his prolific career as the all-time assists leader for the men's soccer program. He is second all-time in program history in points overall with 112 as he also finished his stellar playing career third in program history in goals with 35. A two-time Big South All-Conference selection in 1986 and 1988, Magee collected a program-best 16 assists in the 1987 season. The 16 assists in the 1987 season still places him in the top-10 in league single-season history in the category.

The Snyders, who were inducted posthumously, were faithful boosters to the UNC Asheville Bulldog Athletic Scholarship Fund for nearly 40 years. They particularly loved UNC Asheville basketball and they attended as many away games as they could, cherishing the opportunity to spend time with their friends on the trips. The Snyders were cherished volunteers who gave their time at basketball games and helped with numerous special events for student-athletes. They were the loud and proud team parents when the UNC Asheville women's basketball team won the NAIA National Championship in 1984.
 
The goal of the UNC Asheville Athletics Hall of Fame is to continue to develop traditions, celebrate contributors of those who came earlier in our history and encourage pride in our student-athletes, the campus community and our alumni and supporters.
