The Northeastern Hall of Fame class of 2008 was announced late last month, revealing that seven new honorees will be inducted into the hall’s 35th class at an induction ceremony banquet which will be held at Lombardo’s Restaurant in Randolph April 18.

Former Husky greats Vincent Barletta, a rower from the class of ’93; Anders Hoeyem, a soccer player from the class of ’03; Roger Pierce, a member of the track team from the class of ’71; Nikiya Reid, another track star, from the class of ’02; Brooke Whitney, an ice hockey player from the class of ’03 and Kelly Wilk-Carroll, a field hockey player from the class of ’93 will account for this year’s class of inductees.

Hockey player Harry Mews, from the class of ’91, was also voted in as an inductee this year, but will be unable to attend the ceremony because his wife is expected to give birth to twins. He will instead be inducted at next year’s ceremony.

“They were nominated and voted on and found to be the seven best,” said Associate Athletic Director Jack Grinold, who will be the master of ceremonies for the event.

The other six athletes are expected to be at the induction ceremony, Grinold said. He added that they would each be given the opportunity to make a short speech after being inducted, as is customary.

Barletta, a native of Dedham, was voted Outstanding Freshman Oarsman his first season with the Huskies. In 1991, he rowed the four seat for the team that won the Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships, beating Penn by 1.9 seconds. He then captained the 1992 squad to a 3-3 record and earned the distinction of the team’s Outstanding Varsity Oarsman.

Hoeyem came to Northeastern by way of Norway, and broke out in his sophomore soccer season with seven goals and 10 assists for 24 points. His assist total was the second most ever by a Husky at the time. That season he was also named to the All-America East second team, as well as the All-America Academic first team. The next season he led the nation in assists with 12, and earned team MVP and All-America Academic first team honors, among others. He finished his career with the most assists ever by a Husky, with 33, a record he still holds. He also had 16 goals, third all-time at NU, and 65 total points, also third all-time.

Pierce, from Beverly, contributed as a sophomore to a Husky track team that went 10-0 outdoor, 6-1 indoor and as a junior to a team that went 9-1 outdoor, 5-0 indoor. As a senior he was named captain of both the indoor and outdoor teams, and was voted Northeastern Trackman of the Year after a season that saw him win the Greater Boston indoor dash and the outdoor 100-yard dash. He graduated with the school record in the 50-yard indoor dash, at 5.4 seconds.

As a freshman, Reid was part of a women’s track team that won both the indoor and outdoor America East titles. She was named Outstanding Performer for three straight years (as a sophomore, junior and senior) at the America East indoor championships. She was also named America East Performer of the Year for two consecutive seasons as a junior and senior and graduated with five NU records and six America East Championship records. She still holds Northeastern records for the 60-meter hurdles, the 200-meter and is a member of the record-holding 4×200 relay team.

Whitney earned the distinction of becoming the first Husky athlete to earn a national award honoring her as the top athlete in the nation in her sport in 2002, when as a senior she won the Patty Kazmaier Award, the most prestigious award given in NCAA women’s hockey. She amassed 42 points as a freshman, 34 as a sophomore (in only half a season due to a broken ankle), 40 as a junior and 56 as a senior, giving her 172 career points, fourth all-time at Northeastern. Her 32 goals as a senior tied for second most ever in a season by a Husky as well, a mark that still stands.

Wilk-Carroll won the North Atlantic Conference Rookie of the Year award as a freshman for the field hockey team, thanks to an 18 point season. She followed that as a sophomore with Husky single-season records of 24 goals and 54 points. She graduated with a total of 59 goals and 133 points.

Mews was a part of the Northeastern team that won the men’s hockey Beanpot in the 86-87 season. That year he had 16 goals and 23 assists for 39 points. He followed that up as a junior with an 18-24-42 line and during his senior season he gathered 20 goals and 39 assists for 59 points, the ninth highest total in a season for a Husky ever. He finished his career with 64 goals and 101 assists, putting him at seventh all time in points at NU.

The 2008 hall of fame class joins the most recent class that included football player Jack Freeman, women’s track and field star Dion Gardner, baseball player Mike Glavine, swimmer Cindy Johnson, football player Vito Maida, ice hockey player Ken Manchurek and women’s basketball player Tesha Tinsley from the induction class of 2006. There is no class of 2007 on record.
