Tennessee Athletics will host its third annual Champions Weekend in conjunction with the home football game against Kentucky on Nov. 2. Teams and individuals who won SEC and/or NCAA championships during specific years will be invited back to Rocky Top to celebrate their achievements.
This year’s celebration includes all championship winners—both team and individual/relay—from the following calendar years:
- 2014 – 10-year celebration
- 2004 – 20-year celebration
- 1999 – 25-year celebration
- 1994 – 30-year celebration
- 1984 – 40-year celebration
- 1974 – 50-year celebration
This group has won 23 team SEC Championships, one NCAA Championship, 84 Individual/Relay SEC Championships, and 26 Individual/Relay NCAA Championships over the years. We also celebrate the remarkable accomplishments of our 2024 Hall of Fame Class. Champions Weekend is dedicated to honoring championship anniversaries of 10, 20, 25, 30, 40, and 50 years.
A complete list of 2024 Champions Weekend honorees can be found below. Those in attendance will be recognized on the field at Neyland Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 2.
Champions from the years set to be celebrated this fall are encouraged to contact Assistant Director of Letterwinner Relations Mike Nguyen at [email protected] for additional details on the weekend schedule and complimentary football game tickets.
