OXFORD, Ohio-Miami University has announced that six individuals are to be inducted into its 2001-02 Hall of Fame class. Among those receiving the honor are Brian Carlton '84, an NCAA All-American distance runner, Carolyn Condit, the winningest volleyball coach in Miami history, Molly Cullen House '92, a three-time Mid-American Conference individual champion in track and cross country, Dan Dalrymple '88, a two-time all-MAC performer in football and current strength and conditioning coach, Curt McMillan '93, an All-American linebacker, and Larry Yearwood '81, the only eight-time MAC men's tennis champion.
With the addition of the six, Miami's Hall of Fame has now grown to 167 members. This year's class, the 33rd edition, is to be inducted at halftime of the Miami vs. Ball State men's basketball game on Saturday, Jan. 26.
A four-year letterwinner in track and cross country, Carlton was a member of three Mid-American Conference Championship teams during his tenure. As a distance runner on Miami's track and field team, he garnered All-America status in 1983 after finishing fourth in the 5,000-meter run at the NCAA Championships.
Carlton, who won five individual MAC track titles during the final three years of his career and was named co-outstanding performer at the 1983 MAC Championships, still holds the Miami and MAC Championship records in the 5,000- and 10,000-meter runs. The 1982-83 Miami Male Athlete of the Year, Carlton also earned all-MAC status in cross country during his sophomore season. Carlton currently resides in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
Condit has directed Miami's volleyball program since 1984, winning five Mid-American Conference championships and mentoring four MAC Players of the Year along the way. A four-time MAC Coach of the Year, Condit won her 350th match at Miami during the 2001 campaign while guiding the Red and White to its 11th MAC Tournament appearance. In 1998, Condit led Miami to the NCAA Tournament for the fifth time, guiding the Red and White to the MAC's regular-season and tournament championships. The 1998 team finished with 27 wins, including the program's first NCAA Tournament victory. Along with her success on the court, Condit has guided her student-athletes to success in the classroom, producing four academic All-Americans.
One of the most prolific distance runners in Miami women's track and field and cross country history, Cullen won three individual Mid-American Conference titles during her collegiate career. Miami's 1991-92 Female Athlete of the Year, Cullen earned All-America status after finishing fifth in the 5,000-meter run at the 1992 NCAA Championships. That same season Cullen won the 3,000- and 5,000-meter runs at the MAC Track and Field Championships, establishing Miami records in both events, while earning the right to compete at the 1992 U.S. Olympic Trials. On the cross country course, Cullen was the individual champion at the 1991 MAC Cross Country Meet and advanced to the 1991 NCAA Championships. She resides in Chicago.
In a league of his own as both a student-athlete and coach, Dalrymple has left an indelible impression on Miami's athletic tradition. A four-year starter as an offensive lineman for the Miami football team from 1983-86, Dalrymple was a first-team all-MAC selection in 1985 and '86. Selected as a member of the Cincinnati Enquirer's all-20th Century Miami football team, Dalrymple was a team captain when the Red and White captured the 1986 MAC Championship.
Miami's strength and conditioning coach since 1989, Dalrymple has guided the development of Miami's strength and conditioning program over the past 13 years, earning MAC Strength and Conditioning Professional of the Year honors three times during his career and guiding 26 student-athletes to strength and conditioning all-America status.
One of the most dominant linebackers ever to wear the Red and White, McMillan instilled fear in the hearts of Miami's football opponents from 1989-92. A first-team All-American by Gannett News in 1992, as well as a third-team Associated Press All-American, McMillan led the nation in tackles per game as a junior and senior. He was twice named the Mid-American Conference Defensive Player of the Year and still holds Miami's career record of 575 tackles, including 297 solo stops.
Through 33 career starts, McMillan had 10 or more tackles 31 times, including a string of 26 straight games with at least 10 stops. The 1992 Dick Butkus Award candidate topped the 20-tackle mark nine times during his junior and senior seasons. McMillan resides in Upper Sandusky, Ohio.
Compiling a remarkable 215-46 overall record from 1978-82, Yearwood was one of the most dominant singles and doubles players in Mid-American Conference men's tennis history. During his four-year career, Yearwood amassed eight MAC singles and doubles championships, including the No. 1 singles championship as a junior and senior. Yearwood compiled a 106-27 singles record, while becoming the fifth player in MAC history to earn four individual titles.
In doubles play, Yearwood forged a 109-19 record, which included two MAC titles at No. 1 doubles and one each at No. 2 and No. 3. During his four years of play, Yearwood helped lead Miami to four MAC Championships. To this day, he is the only player in MAC history to earn eight singles and doubles championships.
