The Lewis-Clark State College athletic department and the Warrior Athletic Association will induct five individuals and three national champion baseball teams into the Warrior Athletic Hall of Fame in April of 2023.

The seventh class to be inducted includes former women’s basketball coach Mike Divilbiss and former men’s basketball coach George Pfeifer, former women’s basketball player Caelyn Orlandi, former baseball player Rusty Harris and former cross country and track runner Chelsey Leighton. The NAIA national champion baseball teams from 1989, 1996 and 1999 also will be enshrined at a banquet.

The Hall of Fame was established in 2011 in a joint effort between the LC State athletic department and its booster club, the WAA. Each individual and team inducted has made a major contribution to the tradition of Warrior athletics, to the college, and to the community. Inductions to the Warrior Athletic Hall of Fame are held every other year. However, the pandemic postponed the 2021 ceremony to last year, and the college will hold another induction ceremony next spring.
