Barry was one of 10 finalists announced on Thursday night during the ESPN broadcast of the matchup between No. 2 Notre Dame and No. 3 Louisville.
“It is quite an honor, especially the caliber of candidates that are up this year and the caliber of candidate that are up every year,” said Barry, currently CU’s senior associate athletic director for internal operations and senior women’s administrator. “I’m humbled by that and thrilled to be included.”
The class of 2018 will be announced Feb. 12. The induction ceremony will take place June 9 at the Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Tenn.
