The Sachem Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2021 was inducted at a ceremony at Sachem North on Saturday, December 18.
Twenty five of the district’s most recognizable athletes, coaches and supporters were recognized for their contributions.
This marked the sixth induction class of the Hall of Fame, which had its first ceremony in 2003 and not again until 2016. The Hall of Fame is maintained and coordinated through the Sachem Alumni Association. All inductees are nominated by current Sachem Hall of Famers.
There was no induction in 2020 due to the pandemic, so this year’s class accounted for two years worth of honorees.
The alumni association will release bios and plaque images of all inductees this week as well.
