CHICAGO - In conjunction with the 50th anniversary since the inception of Circle Campus, UIC Athletics joined in the celebration by naming the top 50 male and female athletes within the past 50 years.
On Feb. 19, 2015, UIC Athletics honored the highly decorated group during halftime of the men's basketball game against Milwaukee.
The 50 male and 51 female selections (there was a tie for 50th spot) were decided on solely by the fans through an online voting campaign, with more than 3,500 participants over the 50 days of voting. Athletes who competed prior to 1965 at the Navy Pier campus were not included in the voting.
Hall-of-Famers Curtis Granderson (baseball) and Joanne McCarthy (women's basketball) topped the list for male and female honorees, respectively.
