2024 Hall of Famers

The university inducted four outstanding student-athletes and two teams of distinction into its Hall of Fame during Spider Day Homecoming celebrations Nov. 1. The Class of 2024 inductees include:

T.J. Cline, ’17, men’s basketball: He recorded the only triple-doubles in school history, including one on senior night. He finished his career among the program’s top 10 in career points, scoring average, rebounds, and assists despite playing only three years after transferring in. 

Rodney Elam, R’76, football: His name doesn’t appear among Richmond’s football statistical records for top scorers, rushers, passers, or receivers, but without this offensive linesman, many of the names that do appear wouldn’t be there either.

Meghan Ogilvie, ’05, women’s soccer: Ogilvie was an integral leader during a golden era of Richmond women’s soccer. During her career, the Spiders compiled 46 wins, finished no lower than third in the Atlantic 10, captured the 2002 A-10 championship, and advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 for the first time in program history.

Abby Oliver, ’12, women’s basketball: If the lights were on in the Robins Center, chances were good Oliver was on court practicing and perfecting her craft and passion. On game days, she shone brightest. She is currently eighth on Richmond’s all-time scoring list and played in the third-most games in program history.

Men’s and women’s 2010 cross country teams: Each named a 2024 Team of Distinction, they swept the Atlantic 10 championships, marking the first time in program history that the Spiders were victorious on both the men’s and women’s sides in the same year.
