Hooks receives award
Gene Hooks (’50), Wake Forest’s
athletics director from 1964 to
1992, received the 2002 Homer
Rice Award from the Division IA
Athletic Directors’ Association in
September. The award is presented
annually to an individual who
has had a significant impact on
intercollegiate athletics.
After retiring from Wake
Forest, Hooks became the first
executive director of the association,
where he helped develop the
CHAMPS program (Challenging
Athletes’ Minds for Personal
Success) for Division 1A schools
nationwide. He retired as the
association’s executive director in
1997 and then served as director
of the CHAMPS program until
2001. An award named in his
honor recognizes the top
CHAMPS administrator
each year.
After graduating from Wake
Forest in 1950, Hooks earned a
master’s degree from UNC-
Chapel Hill and his doctorate
from Vanderbilt. He played professional
baseball for several years
before returning to Wake Forest
as baseball coach in 1956. He
received the University’s highest
honor, the Medallion of Merit, in
1992 and was named to the Wake
Forest Sports Hall of Fame in
1993. Wake Forest’s baseball stadium
was named in his honor in
1992.
