Eastern Illinois athletics is wrapping up 20 years as a member of the Ohio Valley Conference. As part of that process EIU athletics is inviting Panther fans to help us select the top 20 players of Eastern Illinois OVC era (1996-97 through 2015-16). As part of this process a committee helped narrow down the distinguished list of EIU student-athletes to the Top 40 athletes across all of EIU's OVC sponsored sports. Taken into consideration while selecting this list of 40 athletes were Player of the Year honors, All-American honors and multiple time first team All-OVC honors. Please take a few moments to vote and help EIU athletics celebrate 20-years as a member of the Ohio Valley Conference. The top 20 athletes selected will be released on the EIUPanthers.com website during the month of June...
