In partnership with the Indiana University Athletics Sports Memorabilia Collection, University Collections at McCalla is proud to present its newest exhibit, Outfitting IU Athletics: Hoosier Champions. The exhibit will open on Friday, November 14 from 4:00 pm–6:00 PM. This showcase highlights individual and team champions throughout IU’s rich athletics heritage.
Featuring uniforms, gear, and trophies, Outfitting IU Athletics traces IU’s athletic accomplishments from the founding of the first sport at IU (baseball), through 2025 individual national champions in women’s and men’s swimming and diving. Objects included in the exhibit range from the 1938 men’s cross country national championship trophy, Lilly King’s signed Olympic swimming cap, Kyle Schwarber’s 2013 College World Series bat, basketball objects, and tennis shoes worn by Heather Crowe during her run to an individual and team national championship in women’s tennis in 1982.
Attendees at this free opening event will first hear remarks from curators and then get to experience the exhibit. Events will be held throughout the year that engage the public with the exhibit through faculty talks and guided tours.
