INDIANAPOLIS – The Great Lakes Valley Conference announced its 2019 Hall of Fame induction class Thursday, with a pair of former UIndy golf greats on the list. Longtime Greyhound men's coach Ken Partridge and former UIndy All-American Justin Hueber will be among four honorees this year.
 
Ken Partridge began his long-time tenure at UIndy in the 1966-67 season before UIndy joined the GLVC as a charter member in 1978-79, where his team finished first in the conference. He followed with 10 other first-place finishes and four runner-up results. In 1987-88 he won his first of 10 GLVC Coach of the Year accolades and repeated as such the next five seasons, including a nod as the NCAA DII District 4 Coach of the Year in 1988-89. His Greyhounds twice finished second in the NCAA District tournament in 1990-91 and 1994-95, while the following year the format changed from district to regional where Partridge guided his squad to its first NCAA Regional win despite placing fourth in GLVC competition in 1995-96. That kick started another three years of GLVC Coach of the Year selections from 1996-97 to 1998-99, while his 10th and final award as the league's top headman was in 2001-02. In his 28 years at the helm, Partridge mentored 44 players to All-GLVC recognition and six to GLVC Player of the Year distinction. Additionally, seven of his players were named All-America 14 times, including three that were three-time winners.

Justin Hueber could be considered the top performer in Indianapolis men's golf history, as his name can still be found atop numerous records a decade after graduating. He owns the UIndy record for lowest career scoring average (72.61), lowest single-season average (71.14), lowest single-round score relative to par (-7) and most career individual wins (11). The two-time GLVC Player of the Year showed promise early in his career, garnering All-GLVC, Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) All-Great Lakes Region and All-America Honorable Mention accolades as a freshman before going on to earn All-America Second Team honors as a junior and an All-America First Team nod his final campaign. The Ft. Wayne, Ind., native saved some of his best moments for the postseason where he racked up four consecutive top-10 showings at the NCAA regional, including two third-place finishes and a runner-up performance. He also led the Greyhounds to a NCAA regional title in 2008 and back-to-back top-10 showings at the NCAA DII Championships.
 
Hueber was part of two record-breaking performances at the GLVC Championships. Winning the Conference indi­vidual medal as both a junior and a senior, he led the Hounds to a league-record 23-stroke win at the 2008 postseason event, one year before setting the individual margin-of-victory record (seven strokes) and helping UIndy break the GLVC Championships record for lowest 54-hole team score (864). More importantly, Hueber also excelled in the classroom. The two-time Academic All-GLVC honoree was named an All-Amer­ica Scholar by the GCAA as a senior while being voted the 2009 GLVC Men's Golf Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Since graduating in 2009, Hueber has gone on to find success as a professional golfer. He is currently competing on the Web.com Tour and has a pair of PGA Tour Latinamérica wins to his credit.
 
The 2019 GLVC Hall of Fame class will be the 18th to be inducted since the establishment of the honor in 2002. Hueber and Partridge will be joined in the Hall by fellow-inductees John Basalyga, former Northern Kentucky men's soccer coach, and Ernie Young, a former Lewis University baseball player. With the inclusion of the Class of 2019 in May, the GLVC Hall of Fame membership will expand to 80 former administrators, coaches and student-athletes.
