Shelby is a member of the Owl Club and the RBI Club, and he and his wife, Nancy, share a suite at Reckling Park with Annalisa and Kyle Frazier ’83.

Gibbs began his career with the engineering department at Texaco before partnering with fellow Rice alum Guy Jackson ’71 and focusing full time on real estate, assembling multiple Rice Village properties. An active member of the “R” Association’s board of directors, Gibbs has played a vital role in recent Rice University Athletics efforts. Among his many contributions to the Rice community is the Barbara and David Gibbs Recreation and Wellness Center, which opened in 2009.

2003 National Champions

From its inception until 1995, Rice baseball had never won a con-ference championship. But when head coach Wayne Graham took the helm in 1992, previously unachievable goals were soon the norm, with the team winning its first SWC title in 1996 and reach-ing the College World Series for the first time in 1997. By 2003, reaching Omaha was no longer a singular accomplishment, and a veteran team was poised to take the program to its ultimate height. With players such as starting pitcher Philip Humber ’05, Vincent Sinisi ’05 at first base, shortstop Paul Janish ’05, outfielders Chris Kolkhorst ’04 and Austin Davis ’04, and catchers Justin Ruchti ’05 and Jeff Blackinton ’03, Rice was primed for a run at Omaha. A 30-game winning streak during the year served notice to the na-tion, and a sterling pitching staff led by Humber, Jeff Niemann ’05 and Wade Townsend ’05 set the stage. An opening win over Missouri State and a pair of wins over rival Texas placed the Owls with Stanford in the best-of-three final format. Kolkhorst’s highlight-reel catch against the left field wall in game No. 1 would help spark a dramatic 4-3 win in 10 innings. After the Cardinals took game No. 2 with an 8-3 decision, Rice put it all together with pitching, hitting and defense to claim a 14-2 win and the school’s first national championship. Rice University’s first national championship team proved that Rice Athletics can, and will continue to, compete at the highest level.

Hall of Fame Inductee

Stahlé A. Vincent

Stahlé Vincent ’72 was never looking to be a trailblazer, only for the best offer to combine his desire to play football and earn his college degree. In fall 1968, Vincent joined 2011 Rice Hall of Famer Rodrigo Barnes ’73 and Mike Tyler ’72 as the first African-Americans to sign football scholarships at Rice. One year later, all three were in action, and Vincent earned the distinction of becoming the first African-American to play quarterback in the Southwest Conference. He completed 51 percent of his passes and threw for 556 yards. In 1970, Vincent moved to running back and ranks 14th on the Rice career chart with 1,675 yards, while setting additional Rice records, including most rushing plays for a season, most total plays (rushing and passing) and most rushing plays in a game. In 1971, Vincent received the George Martin Award as the Owls’ Most Valuable Player, while earning All-Southwest Conference honors. In 1972, he was the 42nd winner of the Bob Quin Award, given to the most outstanding all-around senior athlete. Later that year, Vincent was drafted by the Pittsburg Steelers but suffered a career-ending knee injury in his second season. He went on to earn a master’s degree in management from the University of Massachusetts and currently is director of human resources and labor relations at Cone Denim.
