THE GREATER LANSING AREA SPORTS HALL
OF FAME
INDUCTION CEREMONY
LANSING SEXTON 1986 AND 1987 TRACK TEAMS
August 10, 2022
By Chuck Krafft
Lansing Sexton won the State Track Championship in 1986 and in 1987.
Assistant Coach Pat Murray gave the presentation. He cited Head Coach Paul Pozega as being a huge motivator who kept a lot of talented athletes pointed in the right direction.
The teams were extremely deep and likely to earn points in just about every event.
The relay teams 4 x 100, 4 x 200 and 4 x 400 all won championships. Al four relay teams finished well enough to score in 1987.
Michigan State University Athletic Director Alan Haller was one of the many excellent athletes on this team. More than one person cited Roget Ware as being one of the finest athletes ever in the Lansing Area.
The athletes who were able to make it to the ceremony introduced themselves at the end.
For those of you who would like to read about all the acceptance speeches, here is a log of the whole ceremony!
