Valhalla, NY – The SUNY Westchester Sports Hall of Fame Committee is pleased to announce the Class of 2024 Inductees.
 
"I would like to thank the committee for taking time out of their days to set forth the Class of 2024," said Director of Athletics Mike Belfiore. "I want to personally congratulate the upcoming class on their induction and look forward to hearing their stories about being a Viking!"
 
Receiving the Eugene "Buzz" Keefe Award is John Caruso, former Student Body President here at SUNY WCC. John was an integral supporter of the Westchester Vikings Football team and has served as a continuing liaison to our football alumni and key donor for our program.
 
The first 2024 inductee is former Men's Basketball player Paul Ruddock. Paul played under Head Coach Ralph Arietta (Hall of Fame Class of 2006) and became the Mid-Hudson Conference Player of the Year as well as a National Junior College Athletic Association All-American.
 
The next 2024 inductee is former football center Don Scarcella. Don was the starting center on the 1971 National Championship Viking Football Team. He was named All-Conference and an All-American in both 1970 and 1971.
 
The final 2024 inductee is the 2014 Westchester Baseball Team as the Team of Distinction.  2014 marked the first time since the 1992 season that the Vikings made it to the NJCAA World Series and the first time in program history at the Division II level. Westchester would be ranked ninth in the National Tournament after defeating Mercyhurst Northeast in the East District Championship.
