LA MIRADA, Calif. --- Biola University Athletics is happy to announce its seventh class of Hall of Fame Inductees. This year's class features a first - an entire team being inducted into the hall. Biola will honor its 1981-82 men's basketball team alongside Biola Cross Country and Track & Field standout Kellian Hunt and Biola Women's Soccer star Natalie (Roth) Dell.

The Biola Athletics Hall of Fame began inducting members in 2012. The Hall of Fame currently includes 17 individual members. This year's group will be enshrined at a banquet ceremony at Andrews Banquet Room on Saturday, April 13. For more information on the ceremony, and to register to attend, head to the Hall of Fame Registration page. 

Natalie (Roth) Dell - Women's Soccer (2001-04)
Natalie (Roth) Dell appeared in 71 matches for Biola from 2001-2004, helping lead the team to a 2004 Golden State Athletic Conference title and NAIA National Tournament appearance. Her senior season, the team went 16-2-1, which was the program record for wins in a season until the 2017 team won 17 matches. Dell was NAIA All-American second team in 2004 and was also named to the 2004 all-tournament team by the NAIA. She's the only player in program history to earn that honor. Dell was a two-time scholar-athlete and has her name all over the record book in terms of game, season and career statistics. She's Biola's all-time leader in assists (28), is fourth in goals scored (26) and third in points (80). Her 11-assist season in 2003 is the most all-time in a single season.

Kellian Hunt - Cross Country/Track & Field (2012-16)
Kellian Hunt was heavily recruited in high school as one of the best local high school runners. Her success continued at Biola, culminating in an individual NAIA Cross Country Championship in 2015. She is one of just two runners in Biola's history to claim that. Hunt was a three-time Cross Country All-American and led Biola to three top-10 team finishes at NAIA Cross Country meet (including 2 third-place marks). Her teams won GSAC titles in 2012, 2013, 2015 and she won the individual GSAC Championship in 2013 and 2015. Hunt is a 12-time All-American in track & field (third-most in Biola history). She was a phenomenal student, earning many academic awards, including NAIA and GSAC Scholar-Athlete. During track & field seasons, she won two GSAC Championships with the Eagles' 4x800m relay and added seven all-conference honors. She holds the Biola Indoor Track & Field record in the mile (4:57.52) and the Biola Outdoor Track & Field record in the 5k (16:51.81) and 4x800m relay (8:57.16).

1981-82 Men's Basketball (39-1 / NAIA Runner-Up)
Dr. Dave Holmquist and Howard Lyon coached this team to 39 consecutive victories before suffering a 51-38 loss to South Carolina-Spartanburg (now NCAA Division I) in the NAIA National Championship game. The team was the No. 1 team in the NAIA throughout the season. At that time their 39 wins was the best in any one season at any level of collegiate basketball. Holmquist/Lyon were named NAIA National Coach of the Year. The team featured two All-Americans, Biola Hall of Famer Wade Kirchmeyer and teammate Mark Sontoski. The team was featured in Sports Illustrated and also had the "USA's Tallest Man" 7-foot-8-inch George Bell.
