A dominant high school cross country team, a founder of youth baseball in Rancho Cordova and a remarkable quartet of coaches will be among those inducted this October into the Rancho Cordova Sports Hall of Fame.
The inductees will be honored during the 2020 Induction Ceremony slated for 6 p.m. Saturday, September 18 at Rancho Cordova City Hall. The class includes athletes, coaches, and Rancho Cordova sports supporters who have exhibited the “Heart of a Champion.”
“Rancho Cordova has a uniquely powerful history of youth sports achievement,” said David Sander, mayor of Rancho Cordova and president of the Rancho Cordova Athletic Association (RCAA). “Our Hall of Fame highlights that incredible history and inspires our current youth athletes.”
Honorees elected to the Rancho Cordova Sports Hall of Fame were judged to have attained significant achievements in or have made important contributions to athletics, as well as exhibiting high standards of character and sportsmanship.
“The history of Rancho Cordova is closely linked with some of the most talented athletes in the country,” said Conrade Mayer, chairman of the Hall of Fame Selection Committee. “We need to look at this sports legacy and allow it to inspire our entire community, especially our youth.”
