Sanderson joins fellow Class of 2015 honorees Kelly Downs, Ed Eyestone, Scott Mitchell, and the late Wayne Estes for induction in the Utah Sports Hall of Fame. The annual dinner and ceremony will be held Thursday, Sept. 17 at the Little America Hotel in Provo.
Founded in 1970, the Utah Sports Hall of Fame recognizes and honors athletes, coaches, administrators and others who have had a great influence, who have merited recognition and distinction and who, by their exploits, accomplishments and activities in regard to sports events, have brought fame and honor to the state of Utah, according to the Hall's website. Honorees must be a Utah native or resident of the state for at least ten years (with some exceptions granted).
Sanderson is only the second wrestler to be inducted into the Utah Sports Hall of Fame in the facility's 45-year history, joining Karl Schleckman, a heavyweight wrestler for the now-defunct mat program at University of Utah in the 1930s, who was welcomed into the Hall in 1997.
