Two former Wolfpack standouts have been selected to the 2023 induction class of the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame. Former women's basketball player Trudi Lacey (1978-81) and former tennis player John Sadri (1975-78) will be enshrined during the 59th annual Induction Celebration on the evening of Friday, April 21, at the Raleigh Convention Center, starting at 7 p.m.

Both are previous inductees into the NC State Athletics Hall of Fame - Lacey in the class of 2018 and Sadri in 2020.

Sadri, a native of Charlotte, was a two-time ITA All-America, won two ACC singles championships (1977, '78) and was a two-time ACC doubles champion (1976, '78). He competed as the No. 1 seed in the singles and doubles those seasons. He still owns the top singles winning percentage (.860) and doubles winning percentage (.849) in program history.

In 1978 he was the NCAA Championship runner-up, falling to Stanford freshman John McEnroe.

In 2003, Sadri was named to the ACC 50th Anniversary Tennis Team. He was inducted into the North Carolina Tennis Hall of Fame in 2001. He reached No. 14 in the world rankings in 1980 and won two professional singles and three professional doubles titles. In 1979 he was the runner-up at the Australian Open. Twice he finished as a runner-up at the Australian Open in doubles action.
