An Olympic gold medalist and NCAA champions will be inducted tonight into the Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame Classic of 2004.

The eight-member class won a total of 12 NCAA team titles and 10 individual national crowns during their careers on The Farm.

The list includes: Paul Carey, who led the Cardinal to back-to-back NCAA baseball championships in 1987 and 1988; Jack Chapple, a first-team All-America linebacker in 1964; 1987 NCAA indoor shot put champion Pam Dukes; gymnast Jair Lynch, a two-time NCAA individual champion and captain of Stanford's back-to-back NCAA championship teams in 1992-93; four-time tennis All-America Alex O'Brien; Sarah Rafanelli, the all-time leading goal scorer in Stanford women's soccer history; three-time Olympic swimming gold medalist Jeff Rouse; and Jon Sande, the starting center on Stanford's Rose Bowl football team of 1970.

"We are very proud of the accomplishments of the Hall of Fame class of 2004," said Stanford Athletic Director Ted Leland. "This diverse group of former student-athletes is a great representation of the history of Stanford athletics. Their achievements made them natural choices for induction into the Stanford Hall of Fame."

The Class of 2004 also will be honored during halftime of the Stanford-Washington football game Saturday at Stanford Stadium. Chapple will be honored posthumously.
