BILLINGS, Mont. – January 25, 2017 – Rocky Mountain College is accepting nominations for the 2017 RMC Clara Klindt Athletic Hall of Fame. The deadline for nominations is April 3. The Hall of Fame committee will begin reviewing nominations immediately following.

The categories for consideration include RMC student athletes, teams, coaches and athletic directors as well as graduates, who have made major contributions in the field of athletics at the high school, college or professional levels.

Former student athletes and Battlin’ Bears teams must wait 10 years after their final season to be eligible, while coaches and athletic directors have a five-year waiting period. There is no time requirement for individuals who have made major contributions elsewhere.
