Supporting Lakeview Athletics
for over 30 years
Hall of Fame Recipients, Family Members, and Friends:
It is a great pleasure to announce the Lakeview Athletic Hall of Fame and to honor such an outstanding group of
individuals as inductees.
Lakeview High School has a very simple philosophy. Each individual has the right and responsibility to develop
and grow as a student, as an athlete, and as a person through a variety of experiences. Athletics has been a
positive outlet for our honored guests. Certainly, as you read through the proles of our inductees, you can see
that these people serve as strong role models in all facets of life. They have distinguished themselves as great
athletes, but more importantly as excellent students and community leaders throughout the United States.
Lakeview High School has every reason to be proud of the 2022 members added to the Athletic Hall of Fame.
Welcome and enjoy the evening’s activities!
Sincerely,
Shawn Aimesbury
Director of Athletics

The Lakeview High School Athletic Hall of Fame is dedicated to the recognition and honor of individual
athletes. However, throughout Lakeview’s athletic history, there have been numerous state championship and
state runners-up teams we would like to acknowledge.
History of the Lakeview Athletic Hall of Fame
The Lakeview High School Athletic Hall of Fame started in the year 2000 as a means to identify and give recognition
to those former Lakeview athletes and coaches who had truly exceptional athletic careers above and beyond those
of other excellent high school athletes. To be eligible for consideration, an athlete must have been a graduate of
Lakeview for a minimum of ten years, and a coach must have been retired for a minimum of ve years.
As you look through the abbreviated biographies of all the individuals currently in the Hall of Fame, notice the
outstanding accomplishments and special honors these athletes and coaches have accumulated – not only on
the high school level, but at the collegiate level, as well. As a Hall of Fame Committee, we are extremely proud
of these individuals, not only for their athletic skills, but also for the tremendous character they displayed while
attending LHS and continue to display throughout their adult lives. We believe these 132 individuals are true role
models for the citizens of Lakeview and the youth in our schools.
The Hall of Fame Committee believes there is a signicant difference between those individuals who were
excellent high school athletes, and those who performed at the highest level throughout their athletic careers
and are now worthy of the designation, “Hall of Fame”. Of the 132 members currently inducted, 124 are athletes
and eight are coaches.

114 were designated “All-State”.

honors or recognition.

honors, nine earned All-Big Ten honors, ten earned All Mid-American Conference honors, two earned
Ivy League honors, three earned All-Great Lakes honors, and two were named an NCAA National
Player-of-the-Week.
• 22 were named NCAA AII-American.
• One athlete was twice named “NCAA Swimmer of the Year”, one volleyball player was named the
Mid-American Conference “Player of the Year” and also won the NCAA’s distinguished national award,
‘Top Female Student Athlete”.
• One football player played in the Rose Bowl, one basketball player nished 2nd nationally in NCAA
Division I 3-point eld goals, and another football player set a MIAA record scoring seven
touchdowns in a single game.

and earned a Gold Medal at the World Games. Another winning two Gold and one Silver medals at the
World Games.
• One golfer won numerous PGA events, captained the USA Ryder Cup Team, and is in the
PGA Hall of Fame.

and another tennis player played on a National Championship team.
• Seven athletes won 17 individual Big Ten championships, 10 athletes won their college team’s MVP
award, two athletes set Big Ten records, while 16 additional athletes set 36 records at their
respective universities.
• Six individuals have been inducted into their university’s Hall of Fame, six have been named their
university’s “Scholar Athlete of the Year”, and 34 former Spartans were selected to serve as their
college or university’s Team Captain.
• One tennis player was named USA Today’s Michigan Amateur Athlete of the Year.
