Four former New Mexico State Aggie greats Shirley Anku (women’s track & field), Simone Bock (women’s tennis), Neil McCarthy (men’s basketball head coach) and Amber Simpson (volleyball) are set to be the latest group of individuals inducted into the US Bank/NM State Athletics Hall of Fame as its 2021 class, it was announced Thursday.
Those four individuals are set to be formally inducted via a virtual induction ceremony. The date and time for that ceremony will be announced at a later date.
“It’s unfortunate that we won’t be able to hold an in-person induction ceremony due to COVID-19,” said NMSU athletic director Mario Moccia, “but it was important to us to keep one of NM State’s best traditions alive in order to honor some of our best and brightest.”
