CARBONDALE, Ill. - The Southern Illinois University Department of Athletics announced today its 2016 Saluki Hall of Fame class. The distinguished, five-person class, which will be formally inducted in a ceremony on Friday, Feb. 12, 2016, includes Harold Bardo (Administrator), Diane Daugherty (Women's Golf Coach), Doug Ingram (Swimming & Diving Coach), Bonnie Norrenberns (Volleyball) and James Phillips (Football).
Bardo was the faculty representative to the university's athletic program for 15 years and twice served as interim director of intercollegiate athletics. He holds three SIU degrees and was a standout athlete in basketball and track (1959-61). He directed the School of Medicine's MEDPREP program from 1984 to 1999 and from 2001 until his retirement last year.
Daugherty (1986-2011) was a three-time conference Coach of the Year who won five conference championships (1988, 1990, 1998, 2000, 2007). Her teams also made five second-place finishes at the conference tournament. She coached three individual titleists, 21 Academic All-Americans and won 10 tournament titles. Daugherty was named to the MVC's All-Centennial Team coaches wing. She currently gives golf lessons at Hickory Ridge Golf Course in Carbondale and is president of St. Francis Animal Rescue.
Ingram (1984-92) compiled a 59-23 record in dual meets during his eight-year tenure and led the Salukis to a 16th place finish at the NCAA championship meet in 1985, for which he was named University Coach of the Year in Illinois. He coached 87 All-Americans in his career at Southern. A nationally respected coach, he served two four-year terms as chairman of the U.S. Olympic Swimming Committee. He currently lives in Colorado Springs, Colo. where he serves as the senior director for international games for the United States Olympic Committee.
Norrenberns (1979-1982) was a powerful hitter who ranks fourth all-time in career service aces (161) at Southern. In 1981, she set a school record for most block assists in a match with 10, a feat Norrenberns accomplished twice. She also set a single-season mark that still stands, when she posted 86 services aces in 1982. Norrenberns was a key member of the 1981 team that finished 30-17-1, placed third at the IAIAW Midwest Regional championship, and posted wins during the season over Illinois, Louisville, Kansas, Texas Tech, Indiana and Wisconsin. She currently lives in Mascoutah, Ill. where she is a human resources administrator for a family business.
Phillips (1977-80) played defensive line for the Salukis and still remains the all-time career leader in sacks (23.5). He was a three-time First-Team All-MVC selection (1978, 1979, 1980). He was so dominant that despite missed six games in 1979 with a knee injury, he was still named All-Conference. Phillips recorded 221 career tackles, which ranks 29th all-time at Southern. During his sophomore and junior seasons, SIU was a combined 15-7 and finished second in the MVC in 1979. He is retired and lives in Collierville, Tenn.
