Antonian Athletic Hall of Fame

The 2025–26 Antonian Athletic Hall of Fame celebration is one we won’t soon forget.

We were honored to recognize an outstanding class whose legacy continues to shape Antonian Athletics: Jim Michel ’76 (Track & Field), Rick Vela ’69 (Baseball), Alex Bissaro ’12 (Golf), Drea Peña-Kocian (Coach), and the 2007–2008 NCA National Champion Cheerleading Team.

Thank you to our inductees, families, teammates, and community for an incredible evening celebrating excellence, tradition, and the connection between past and future. This is what Antonian pride looks like.

The Antonian community mourns the loss of Antonian Hall of Famer, Buddy Meyer. Meyer impacted to lives of Antonian students, and multiple generations of student-athletes at St. Mary's University.

Coach Meyer led the Apaches to the state championship basketball tournament in 1968, and earned the school's first state championship title.

Meyer earned All-Big State Conference Honors and named NAIA All- American at St. Mary’s in 1964. Named Conference Coach of the Year 11 times and NAIA District IV Coach of the Year four times while at St. Mary’s. Inducted into the San Antonio Sports Hall of Fame in 2007. Inducted into the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame 2009-2010.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let Your perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.
