TUCSON, Ariz. – The Pac-12 Conference announced today the 2019 class to be inducted into the Pac-12 Hall of Honor. The University of Arizona member of this year's class is Meg Ritchie-Stone of Arizona Track and Field. Ritchie-Stone won multiple NCAA championships in the shot put and the discus before representing Scotland in the 1980 and 1984 Olympics.
 
She holds a pair of school records in the throwing event with marks of 18.99m (62-3.25) in the shot put and 67.48m (221-5) in the discus throw. From single handedly dominating the Arizona track and field record books to competing at the highest levels internationally to becoming a pioneer in collegiate athletics, Meg Ritchie-Stone has earned honors and recognitions in just about every way possible.
 
The four-year letter winner and All-American in the shot put and discus was the 1980 AIAW champion in both, the 1981 AIAW champion in shot put and runner-up in discus, the 1981 indoor shot put champion, the 1982 NCAA champion in shot put and discus and the 1983 NCAA champion in the indoor shot put.
 
Following her storied athletic career, Ritchie-Stone returned to Arizona to become a pioneer in college athletics. She became the only female strength and conditioning coach in the country to lead men's and women's athletic programs.
 
The 2019 Hall of Honor class will be the 18th since its creation in 2002, and the second to feature legendary figures from an array of sports after the Pac-12 last season expanded the field to be inclusive of the broad-based athletics success across the Conference of Champions. From NCAA champions, Super Bowl champions and World Series champions to Olympic medalists to legendary coaches, the 2019 class features a star-studded list.
 
Among the many combined accolades of this year's inductee class includes: 14 Olympic medals, nine bowl victories, eight members named to a Pac-12 All-Century Team, seven All-Americans, five Olympic athletes, five NCAA team or individual national championships as collegians, four Super Bowl victories, two members of the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, two members of the College Football Hall of Fame, two members of their country's Olympic Hall of Fame, one member of the Naismith Hall of Fame and one back-to-back World Series winner.
 
Celebrating the broad-based example of excellence, the 2019 Pac-12 Hall of Honor class is part of a rich history of champions for the Conference. The Pac-12 leads the list for the most NCAA titles by any league with 516 across 29 different sports, including nation-leading totals for men's (301), women's (185) and combined (30).
 
Formal induction will take place during a ceremony prior to the semifinals of the 2019 Pac-12 Men's Basketball Tournament, presented by New York Life. Following induction, the class will be honored during a special halftime ceremony of the day's first semifinal matchup at T-Mobile Arena on Friday, March 15.
