Thorough commitment and major contributions to basketball, football and baseball highlight the Janesville Sports Hall of Fames induction class for 2024.
The Janesville Sports Hall of Fame was founded in 1990 and has had inductions each year since then (except for 2020). Now, with J.P. Cullen & Sons, Westphal Electric and Martelle Water Treatment as co-sponsors, the hall of fame is on track for its 34th class of inductees.
