With five plus decades of history to chose from, Smoky Hill High School has selected the members of its inaugural Hall of Fame class, which will be inducted this week.
A committee that includes current athletic director David Benedict in addition to current and former school administrators and coaches John Thompson, Scott Cohen, Bob Kennedy and Scott Henry picked the group, which will be honored at a 6 p.m. May 27 ceremony in the school’s auditorium.
“It was not an easy task to determine this list of individuals with such a rich history over the last five decades,” Benedict said in a statement. “All have represented Buff Nation with great pride of success.”
The Hall of Fame Class of 2026 is made up of Derek Glenn (1977), Cody Dusenberry Kerekes (1992), Shelby Clark (2000), Megan Kaltenbach Burke (2003), Katelyn Kaltenbach Conlon and Rachel Holloway Freemyer (2005), Miguel Rosales (2007), Bowen Yang (2008) and Caroline Piehl (2011) plus coaches Mike and Molly Renes.
Space is limited and those wishing to attend must RSVP with Benedict. Contact him at dbenedict@cherrycreekschools.org.
