Brooks Named to NC Sports Hall of Fame 2022 Induction Class

DURHAM – The North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame announced Wednesday that Duke University women's golf head coach Dan Brooks is one of 10 that will be part of its 2022 induction class. Brooks and the rest of the inductees will be enshrined during the 58th annual induction banquet on the evening of Friday, April 22 at the Raleigh Convention Center in Raleigh, N.C.

A news conference will occur earlier in the day at 12 p.m., at the North Carolina Museum of History.

Along with Brooks, Luke Appling, Missouri Arledge, Ronnie Barnes, Henry Bibby, Torry Holt, Sam Mills, Timmy Newsome, Dave Robbins and Tom Suiter will be inducted. In addition to the 2022 inductees, Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues also will officially join the NCSHOF. He was elected previously but could not attend the 2021 banquet, so he will be formally inducted with the 2022 class.

"This year's class includes a wide variety of athletic achievement, including professional, collegiate, high school, Olympic sports, and media, with some special contributions," said Dr. Jerry McGee, president of the Hall's Board of Directors. "This class of inductees and their outstanding accomplishments continue to build on the rich sports heritage of North Carolina. We look forward to celebrating these outstanding individuals in our state's sports history."

In his 38th season at Duke, Brooks has captured a remarkable seven national titles in the last 23 years, in addition to 21 career ACC championships and 140 team wins – the most of any women's golf coach in NCAA Division I history.

Brooks, a native of Baker City, Ore., is a seven-time National Coach of the Year and 16-time ACC Coach of the Year selection. His seven national championships are the most by any Division I head coach in history. Brooks has led Duke to 14 top-10 finishes at the NCAA Championship since 2004 and 18 total top five placements in school history. He has guided 20 individuals to ACC crowns, 38 to All-ACC selections and 26 All-Americans.

An Oregon State graduate, Brooks is also a member of the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA), Duke Hall of Fame and the Carolinas Golf Association (CGA).

The North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame was established in 1963. A permanent gallery, the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame is located on the third floor of the North Carolina Museum of History in Raleigh and features significant objects and memorabilia donated by inductees. The museum is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Admission is free.
