Thorne to be inducted into Husson sports hall

BANGOR – Tom Thorne, a former standout golfer at Husson College, will be inducted into the college’s Sports Hall of Fame during ceremonies scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Saturday at the Bruce MacGregor Hall of Fame Room in Newman Gymnasium.

One of seven members of the 2004 induction class, Thorne played for three years as Husson won the NAIA District 5 championship each time and qualified for the national tournament. Thorne was the medalist at nine tournaments, and played as the No. 3 golfer on a strong team.

“Tom was an outstanding player,” said MacGregor. “He was a leader and understood how to manage a golf course. All three of his coaches nominated him for this honor.”
