Alexander Bowen Jr. was a decorated track and field athlete for the Great Danes from 2011 to 2016, specializing in the high jump and triple jump. He broke the school record for both indoor and outdoor high jump, posting a mark of 2.22m. His indoor record still stands atop the UAlbany record books to this day. Bowen was a multiple-time America East champion, earning the conference's Most Outstanding Field Performer award three times during his collegiate career. His success extended beyond the conference level, as he was a two-time IC4A champion and a competitor at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championship. He was also a two-time All-American, being named to the USTFCCCA Indoor All-America First Team in 2014 and the Outdoor All-America Second Team in 2013. Additionally, Bowen was the first male athlete from UAlbany to win a Penn Relays championship.
 
Hannah Reinhardt was both a standout cross country and track and field athlete for UAlbany from 2016 to 2020. She holds the UAlbany school record in the 3,000-meter and 5,000-meter runs for both indoor and outdoor track. In addition, Reinhardt was a two-time America East individual cross country champion, winning back-to-back titles in 2018 and 2019. To this day, she is still the only UAlbany cross country athlete to ever claim the America East individual title. In 2018, she became the first UAlbany woman to qualify for the NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships since 2004. In addition to her impressive running achievements, she was also a two-time America East Scholar-Athlete of the Year, highlighting her dedication to both athletics and academics.
 
Brittany (MacFawn) Stanley competed for the UAlbany softball program for four years, from 2011 to 2014.  She ended her career as the program's all-time leader in wins (82), complete games (96), and strikeouts (824), among other records. MacFawn was a two-time America East Pitcher of the Year and was also named the America East Tournament's Most Outstanding Player twice. As a freshman, she pitched a two-hit complete game to secure UAlbany's fourth conference championship title. Throughout her career, she threw multiple no-hitters and a perfect game. Her impressive performance helped the Great Danes to two conference championships and NCAA tournament appearances (2011, 14) during her time with the Purple and Gold.
 
Brooke Stanley competed for the Great Danes in volleyball from 2007 to 2011. Throughout her career, she was named America East Conference Setter of the Year three times, including a unanimous selection in 2009, when she was also named the conference's Player of the Year. She recorded over 1,000 assists in four different seasons, finishing her career ranked second on UAlbany's all-time assists chart with 4,851. As a freshman, she was named the America East Tournament's Most Outstanding Player. Her career was interrupted by a season-ending knee injury in 2010, but she returned for her final season in 2011 to once again earn Setter of the Year honors.
 
Established in 1986, the Class of 2025 is the 37^th to be inducted into the UAlbany Athletics Hall of Fame, which has now enshrined a total of 165 members.
