Utah Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2024
Kyle Beckerman
After being traded from Colorado to RSL in 2007, the dreadlocked midfielder became a fan favorite and a team captain who helped establish Salt Lake’s soccer culture. Beckerman won an MLS Cup and played for the United States in the World Cup. He is now the head coach of the Utah Valley University men’s soccer team.
Lindsey Anderson
The Morgan High product is already a member of the Big Sky Conference Hall of Fame and the Weber State Athletics Hall of Fame. She holds Wildcat records in the steeplechase, the 10,000 meters outdoors and the 5,000 meters indoors. She was also the first Weber State athlete to compete in the Summer Olympics, running in Beijing in 2008. Anderson has since returned to her alma mater to coach.
Kevin P. Gates
When his high school needed a new baseball field, Gates asked, “Why don’t we do this right?” The end result was the $3.5 million Gates Field at Kearns High School, a diamond that has become a jewel on the Salt Lake Valley’s west side.
Robert Craig Poole
The former BYU track coach mentored 14 NCAA individual champions during his 30-year career with the Cougars. Along the way, his teams also posted 15 top-10 finishes in the NCAA indoor and outdoor meets.
Rod Tueller
A Cache Valley athletics icon, Tueller coached basketball at Logan High School before becoming a coach at Utah State. During his tenure with the Aggies, Tueller worked for six years as an assistant and then took over as the team’s head coach in 1979. He won a Big West Conference Championship and, notably, spent four years in the dual role of head basketball coach and athletic director.
