WALTHAM, Mass. – The University Athletic Association has named the first full class of the Richard A. Rasmussen UAA Hall of Fame, and the list includes two members of the Brandeis Hall of Fame – Tim Morehouse ’00 of the men’s fencing team and Eleena Zhelezov ’95 of the women’s track and field program.
 
Over the past year, a committee was formed with representatives from each institution and the Association office to nominate and select individuals to be included in the first class. To be eligible as a student-athlete, a person must have earned their undergraduate degree from a UAA institution, competed for at least three years in the UAA, and graduated at least 10 years ago. Coaches and administrators become eligible once they have retired from a UAA institution.
 
The first class includes 25 student-athletes, seven administrators, three coaches, and one coach/student-athlete. Each UAA sport is represented in the first class with each current institution being represented with at least two inductees.
 
Morehouse, a saber fencer from 1997 to 2000, is the most successful male fencer in program history. He was selected to the NCAA Championships three times and earned All-America honors each time. As a sophomore, he finished 10^th nationally. As a junior in 1999, with the Championships held at Brandeis, Morehouse finished in sixth place. In 2000, as a senior, he had the best-ever finish by a Brandeis male, finishing second in the Round Robin and fourth after the direct elimination bouts. After graduation, Morehouse continued his fencing career, representing the United States in three Olympics. He was an alternate in Athens in 2004, and in 2008 in Beijing, he helped the US men’s saber team place earn a silver medal, making him the first Olympian and Olympic medalist in Brandeis history. Morehouse also competed for the USA in London in 2012. Morehouse was named to the Brandeis Hall of Fame in 2004.
 
Zhelezov is the most decorated track and field athlete in Brandeis history. From 1991 to 1995, she won nine NCAA Division III Track and Field Championships. Zhelezov claimed both the indoor and outdoor triple jump crowns all four years and added a long jump title indoors in 1991 for good measure. Zhelezov was the first Division III student-athlete and one of only two in history to win the same event four years in a row both indoors and outdoors. She was a 15-time All-American, 14-time UAA Individual champion and 13-time New England Division III title-winner. As a senior in 1995, she was named the NCAA Division III Indoor Track and Field Athlete of the Year. Zhelezov still holds Brandeis school records in the long jump indoors and outdoors and in the triple jump outdoors. In addition to earning a spot in the Brandeis Hall of Fame in 2001, she was selected to the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2011.
