CHICAGO, Ill. -- The 2025 Viking Hall of Fame Class will center on the historic championship runs for the North Park College Men's Basketball teams, honoring the 1978-1980, 1985, and 1987 programs.
From 1978 to 1987, North Park College won five national titles in eight years. The Blue & Gold reigned in 62% of the NCAA Division III National Championships in that time frame and won 84% of their tournament games, sporting an eight-year record of 26-5 in the post season. North Park's five national championships still remain an all-time record in Division III Men's Basketball.
Four members of those championship teams were drafted to play in the National Basketball Association (NBA): Michael Harper (1980, Rd. 3 - Portland Trailblazers), Modzel Greer (1980, Rd. 8 -Chicago Bulls), Keith French (1980, Rd. 9 - Phoenix Suns), and Michael Thomas (1981, Rd. 6 - Philadelphia 76ers).
The ceremony will take place on the morning of January 31. More details to be released in the coming weeks.
