Dear Friends,

Good evening and welcome to the 2022 Loyola Academy Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony!

Tonight it is our privilege to induct eighteen individual honorees and four teams into the Loyola Academy Athletic Hall of Fame. We also pay special tribute to two dedicated Jesuit educators and a longtime friend of Loyola athletics.

At Loyola today, over 1,400 Ramblers participate in 34 different sports and play on 73 teams led by 189 coaches. Like tonight’s inductees did when they were students here, our current Ramblers are learning some of life’s most important lessons through their participation in Loyola athletics—lessons such as leader ship, teamwork and good sportsmanship, self-discipline and goal setting, the value of hard work, physical fitness, and a healthy lifestyle.

Loyola continues to push the athletic experience forward. This fall we hosted the St. Xavier Cincinatti Bombers in what we hope will become an annual foot ball matchup between the several top-ranked midwestern Jesuit high schools in our Province. And we are looking at other possible matchups, such as an annual Jesuit high school holiday basketball tournament. Our leadership is motivated for continued development of the Jesuit educational experience for our studentathletes with top-caliber facilities, equipment, and coaches. The call to provide the very best athletic experience is rooted in our Jesuit mission of magis, to become more.

Together, Loyola’s Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2022 represents an accom plished group of extraordinary athletes. Among tonight's honorees are MLS player Dylan Remick '09, MLB umpire Dan Bellino ’96, and former US Worlds Rowing competitor Dariush “Tim” Aghai '08—all of whom we have proudly watched at the highest level of their respective sports. We are thrilled to cele brate one of our state’s best swimmers, IHSA state champion Rachel Ridgeway ’04. In addition, Coaches Mary Just and Jeremy Schoenecker will be presented with the Frank J. Amato Excellence in Coaching Award. And we are pleased to recognize longtime Loyola supporters Kathleen and David Kennedy ’73 with the John E. Hoerster Athletic Medal of Honor.

Thank you for joining us tonight to celebrate Loyola athletics and the special mission of Jesuit education that we share. Loyola is a place where young women and men are formed and encouraged to listen for the invitation of God and learn to respond generously with lives of service and leadership. We are blessed to be a part of this great mission, and we are grateful for such extraordinary living examples as tonight’s inductees and honorees.

Rev. Gregory J. Ostdiek, SJ President

To Our Alumni and Friends,

Welcome to Loyola Academy’s 2022 Athletic Hall of Fame celebration!

We are pleased and honored to celebrate this very special group of athletes, teams, coaches, and supporters. You represent the very best of Loyola Academy athletics, and we are thrilled to celebrate the lasting impact of your outstanding efforts and talents.

When given the opportunity to reflect on moments from our past, the people, places, and experiences that have shaped us come to mind. As our athletic community enjoys this special evening, we are called to gratitude for those dedicated teachers, coaches, and friends who have made Loyola Academy such a special place to be throughout the years. Let me congratulate you all on this tremendous achievement.

Loyola Academy embraces its role as a leader in Jesuit education and continues its pursuit to enhance the possibilities for our students and alumni. Our vision is rooted in an extraordinary legacy, and grounded in the strength of our shared Jesuit mission.

We are grateful for your presence tonight, and for the opportunity to embrace the gifts and talents of the entire Rambler athletic community.

Congratulations and Go Ramblers!

HISTORY of the

Loyola Academy Athletic Hall of Fame

In 1985, a committee was formed to establish the Loyola Academy Athletic Hall of Fame. On May 11, 1985, sixty-seven charter members were inducted into the Hall in a formal ceremony held at Loyola.

From that time to 1998, there was no formal, active committee to oversee the Athletic Hall of Fame. In 1998, a committee was formed to reinstitute a formal process of nomination and selection. This group consists of an executive committee of seven members, and a nomination committee of an additional seventeen members, covering all sports. Final selections are made by the executive committee. As of tonight, there are 329 members and 76 teams in the Athletic Hall of Fame, covering one-hundred and twelve years of Loyola Academy athletic history.

The following criteria are now established for selection into the Athletic Hall of Fame:

1. There is a ten-year waiting period after graduation before nomination and induction into the Athletic Hall of Fame.

2. The Athletic Hall recognizes athletes, coaches, administrators, friends, and clergy.

3. There are no “automatic inductees.” While “All-State” status no longer means automatic induction, clearly such an accomplishment weighs significantly in evaluating an athlete’s nomination.

4. The Athletic Hall now recognizes teams. The chief criterion is that a team be of historic significance, a “mystique” team, a “special” kind of championship team.

5. Nominations to the Athletic Hall of Fame from both The Old Timers Era (pre-1957) and The Modern Era (1958-present) are considered.

6. The number of selections per year is generally limited to between ten and twenty inductees. There is no limitation on the number from each category.

7. Club sports’ athletes and teams will be considered under the same selection process as interscholastic sports’ athletes and teams.

8. Current Loyola Academy coaches are not eligible.

FRANK J. AMATO EXCELLENCE IN COACHING AWARD

The Frank J. Amato Excellence in Coaching Award is presented annually to the Loyola Academy coach whose outstanding performance on and off the field repre sents the highest traditions of Loyola Academy athletics as well as the core values and ideals of the school’s Ignatian mission.

JOHN E. HOERSTER MEDAL OF HONOR

The John E. Hoerster Medal of Honor is presented annually to a friend of Loyola Academy whose tireless support for its athletic programs and its student athletes demonstrates an abiding commitment to the school, its mission, and its Ignatian values and ideals.

IBCA Hall of Fame Inductee Loyola University Hall of Fame Inductee

I am honored to be receiving the Frank J. Amato Excellence in Coaching Award this year. I am also honored to be receiving it with Jeremy Schoenecker. I accept this award with all the other incredible assistant coaches in mind who work so hard to make our athletes not only better players, but better people. I also accept this award for all the assistant coaches who make their head coaches look good!

I would like to thank the hundreds (or thousands) of student-athletes I have coached for making my job so easy (most of the time). These players worked so hard to be good teammates, good students, and good people. I am so fortu nate to have coached so many wonderful athletes, and made so many friend ships along the way. Some of the best memories I have are from the sidelines of the volleyball court, basketball court, or softball sideline.

I would like to thank Tanya Johnson for giving me my first coaching job at Marillac back in 1989 and for showing me the right way to be firm, but caring as a coach. The Marillac job led me to my coaching job here at Loyola. I would also like to thank Emmett Hara for his wisdom and encouragement for the past 19 years of coaching together.

I am incredibly grateful to have worked with some of the most dedicated and talented coaches in all different sports. These coaches have helped me to become the coach and teacher I am today. I also treasure the many friendships that I have made over the years with opposing coaches, officials, and parents. Last, and certainly not least, thanks to my family for their support throughout all these years. They have understood the time commitment involved to be suc cessful.

Thank you.

Jeremy S. Schoenecker Frank J. Amato Excellence in Coaching Award

I am greatly humbled and honored to be receiving the Frank J. Amato Excellence in Coaching Award. I feel privileged to you, the Loyola Hall of Fame Committee, for considering me to accept this award. This is just an amazing moment and one of the most important scenes of my professional coaching career. I am very thankful to all. I truly appreciate and respect this award. More impor tantly, I am honored to be standing alongside Coach Amato. He has set the bar at high standards and illustrated what it means to be a coach at Loyola Academy. A true man for others.

I would not be able to accept this award if it weren’t for all the amazing and talented athletes whom I was able to coach along the years. Honestly speak ing, basketball season takes a special kind of athlete to focus and pursue goals through long dark winter months. I have been blessed with athletes who gave more to their teammates, coaches, and the love of the game than themselves. Over the past 14 years, I have had the privilege of coaching amazing young women and have been able to help them achieve their goals and dreams all while enjoying the process along the way. I have had the pleasure to coach sib lings and get to know parents — we truly became family. Winning records are something coaches aspire to; however, you look back and hope you were able to touch lives and positively impact the formation of your athletes in the end. These are the moments and memories that will last a lifetime for me.

Lastly, I would like to thank my coaching staff and the Loyola Academy Athletic Department. This is really a proud moment for me and my entire staff. Jon Wolfe and Susie McGovern are two of the best, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without them. The support I have received over these years has been second to none. It would never be possible for me without their sup port and help from my team.

I will cherish this award forever. I truly appreciate all for supporting and helping me in my professional growth. Please accept my sincerest thankful ness.

CREW

Won a gold medal at the U23 World Championships in 2011...member of world record setting U23 M8+ in 2011...won a silver medal at the World Championships in 2017...five-time Head of the Charles Champion: 2009, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017...ten-time United States Training Center Athlete...five-time US National Team member; 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017, 2018...named 2011 Male Student Athlete of the Year at the University of Wisconsin...2012 Wisconsin Men’s Crew team captain...member of the US Rowing Board of Directors.

Big thanks to Loyola Academy, the selection committee, and the many folks that have helped run Loyola’s rowing program over the years.

Like many of the amateur sports, rather than remuneration or significant acclaim, the value in rowing comes from nuanced experiences rarely perceived by onlookers, but shared by all who participate. It’s a high-level education, boot-camp, seasoning, and an inevitable lifestyle in perseverance. It’s a masterclass in collaboration and teamwork, only made more difficult by the laborious and perfectionist types it attracts and forces together. Further, rowing requires significant focus, patience, and a unique diagnostic approach in order to navigate the max-power, maxfinesse, minimum room for error pursuit.

I’m not sure how I came to fit into something of this nature, but the reality is that I wouldn’t have made it anywhere without the guidance and commitment of the people who invested in me —a strange, scrawny, stubborn, and largely agitated young man; circa 2004-2008. And I’m very grateful for each of them.

First I must thank my three heroes and the people I look to every day in everything I do—my mother, father, and brother — Krystyna, Mohsen, and Matthew Aghai.

Next, I must thank my first true rowing coach and teacher, Rob DeCleene, who has had as significant an imprint on my rowing career as he had on my life in those formative years and as a result throughout my athletic career. He taught me how to train and how to move a boat effectively, but also challenged me to step up and grow as a young man and guided me with equal parts candor and patience.

A massive thanks to Matt Baldino who's been a continual supporter and ally throughout my continued rowing career and beyond. Matt’s been present through the highs and lows of my pursuits, always available when needed, while guiding me to do the right thing and to have the confidence to strive for more.

Thanks to Mike Kelley who’s always delivered a lesson in balanced nuance and intensity. Thanks to his brother, Tim Kelley, for offering further perspectives in length, power, and the skill required to win. Thanks to Brian Martin and his unwavering loyalty to the young men and women who come through the Loyola Crew. Thanks to Chris Clark, the University of Wisconsin - Madison Head Coach, who provided me with the tools and opportunities to pursue rowing beyond college. Thanks to all the parents that volunteered their time to the Loyola Academy Rowing Association. And last, a massive thank you to all my teammates that span the classes from 2005-2011—the experiences I gained sweating, learning, traveling, and causing all that trouble with you were as formative as they were an absolute blast.

SOFTBALL

At Loyola: Named First Team All-State by the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun Times during her senior season while batting .487 with 50 hits, 12 doubles, and 52 RBI’s...named First Team All-State by the Chicago Sun Times during her junior season while batting .547 with 9 home runs and a .977 slugging percentage.

At Illinois Chicago: Played a total of 167 games during her career with the Flames while serving as a primary starter...played shortstop as a freshman before making the transition to catcher, where she started a total of 106 games in her final three seasons...behind the plate, assisted with 51 wins for the Flames and played a key role in the 2011 season when UIC won the Horizon League Championship and advanced to the NCAA Regionals...threw out a total of 34 base runners and owned 11 pickoffs that contributed to 604 putouts, all while committing just 11 errors at the position and holding a perfect fielding percentage during her senior season.

I would first like to congratulate everyone being inducted into the Hall of Fame. This is such an exciting accomplishment! Thank you so much to Loyola Academy for this induction into the Athletic Hall of Fame, it really means so much to me.

Being a part of the State Championship team was such an amazing experience and one that I will never forget. Reflecting on this time in my life brings back such fun memories and reminds me of how much I learned during my time at Loyola and how much I’ve grown as a person.

I am very thankful for all my coaches and teammates at Loyola who I shared all these incredible experiences with. I would like to thank my whole family for supporting me and guiding me through this time in my life. I would like to give a truly special thank you to my parents for all of their love and sacrifice in making any of this possible for me. I feel truly honored to be recognized and grateful to be part of this group of inductees.

LACROSSE

At Loyola: Named US Lacrosse All-American, All-State and AllConference three times...selected to play in the North/South AllAmerican game at RPI in New York...first Illinois player ever selected to play in a national post season All-Star game...first Loyola player to exceed 100 points in a season...recorded two 100+ point seasons...broke the Loyola season scoring record with 97 goals during her senior year...returned to coach at Loyola during the team’s 9 year State Championship streak.

At Georgetown: Played on team that reached two NCAA championship games.

Thank you to my husband, children, parents, siblings, brothers/sisters in-law & friends for being at the Hall of Fame ceremony to support me and for always coming to all my lacrosse games and cheering me on, it means so much.

To my parents, thank you for everything you do for me. Thank you for not only working hard to send me and my siblings to Loyola, but as it relates specifically to Loyola lacrosse, thank you for being so supportive of me wanting to try a fairly new sport. You were so encouraging and interested in learning more about the sport with me. You found different camps and clinics for me to attend so I could learn more about the sport and improve, even sending me to camps on the east coast. And you, along with many other parents, were so involved and committed to helping make lacrosse an official sport at Loyola. Dad, I could have never imagined where you would help take this sport to today. As the head coach, you have changed the lives of not only your four daughters and now granddaughters, but countless other young women with your dedication to Loyola women’s lacrosse.

To my brothers, thank you for leading the way and showing me how to be a student-athlete at Loyola and the importance of hard work and determination on the field and in the classroom.

To my sisters, thank you for learning lacrosse with me and playing lacrosse in our backyard together! I was lucky enough to learn from Bridget and be on the same team with her. I was then able to watch Kathleen play & coach at Loyola. And Brennan just graduated from Northwestern where she played in 4 consecutive final four tournaments!

Thank you to my teammates & friends for all the amazing, fun memories. It was as special to be a part of the program as it was forming. And it’s been so exciting to see the lacrosse program grow into what it is today: 14 State Championships and counting!

Thank you also to all the lacrosse parents—they were the ones that really got the women’s lacrosse program started and laid the foundation for women’s lacrosse at Loyola.

Thank you to Loyola Academy for your vision of striving to be the leading Jesuit college preparatory faith and education center in the United States. To be able to attend Loyola in the footsteps of my grandfather, father, uncles & siblings was a gift. And it is truly an honor to be inducted into the Loyola Hall of Fame. Thank you to everyone involved in putting all this together!

Go Ramblers!

Daniel A. Bellino ‘96

GENERAL NOMINATION

MLB: Full-time Major League Baseball Umpire since 2011...made MLB debut in June of 2008...assigned to playoff series for 9 consecutive years, including 7 Divisional Series, 1 Championship Series, and 1 Wild Card Series...assigned to the 2021 World Series...umpired 2012 Opening Series in Tokyo, Japan...umpired two World Baseball Classics (2013, 2016).

It is with a humbled heart and a great appreciation that I sit to write this letter to you and the other Ramblers who partook in the process that has led to me becoming a part of the Loyola Academy Athletic Hall of Fame. I vividly recall walking past the displays of all the prior inductees as a student. I believe you would be hard-pressed to find a single student-athlete that represented Loyola who didn’t stare at that wall with dreams of one day seeing their picture hanging among the others. This is an incredibly proud day for me and my family, so please allow me to thank the many people who assisted in making this day a possibility.

To my wife, Katie, and my children Anthony, Grant, Andrew and Lucy: Thank you for all of your sacrifices throughout the years that have allowed me to pursue my career. In addition to the constant travel and the often unwarranted criticism, you are my rock and my foundation. Being a Major League Umpire is a wonderful profession, but my greatest jobs will always be that of a husband and a father. You make me a better man and for that, I am eternally grateful. I love you with all of my heart.

To my parents and my sisters, thank you for always having my back and providing me with the opportunity to chase my dreams. Your support and understanding throughout the years have continuously reassured me that anything is possible in this life when you are supported and loved. Making you proud has always been my goal in life.

To my fellow Ramblers, I would like to acknowledge and congratulate the other individuals and teams that are also being inducted today. Sharing this accomplishment with you is an honor. To the selection committee, I thank you for your consideration, your support and, ultimately, your approval. While impossible to single out every individual by name, a sincere thank you to Coach John O’Loughlin, Coach Ray Del Fava and Coach Les Seitzinger for the many years of support and friendship. You have all proven to me that attending Loyola Academy was one of the greatest decisions I have ever made in my life.

For those that don’t already know, Loyola Academy is so much more than a high school; Loyola Academy is a community of excellence. The foundation that is laid during the four years of attendance is one of integrity. To be successful, you must be prideful in what you represent, respectful of those that have come before you, and mindful of those who will follow. This has always been my mindset as a Rambler. While we all strive for individual success in our lives, the collective successes of our community are what truly separate us from the other institutions.

There is something special about the maroon and gold logo that exemplifies achievement. Loyola has always been synonymous with excellence in all aspects of education and development. While impossible to always attain, perseverance is what defines us. We never give up, we never stop striving for it. It is in our DNA. I am incredibly proud to call myself a Rambler.

As I conclude this letter, I would like to acknowledge a fellow graduate and teammate of mine who was taken from us far too soon. Matthew Switski was, without a doubt, the best overall student-athlete during my time at Loyola Academy. Beyond his athletic prowess, he was an even better human being. As I accept this honor today, I do so in the memory of my teammate and friend, Matt Switski.

Thank you again for this prestigious honor. Go Ramblers!

James A. Bradley ‘01

FOOTBALL

Thank you so much to Loyola Academy and the Selection Committee for this induction to the Loyola Athletic Hall of Fame. I would also like to congratulate all of the athletes and coaches who have been inducted into the Hall of Fame both this year and in the past.

I must deeply thank my parents, Patrick and Linda Bradley, for giving me the privilege of attending Loyola Academy and the opportunity to benefit from everything wonderful that it offers (on and off the field). When I began at Loyola in 1997, my two older brothers had already graduated. I would like to thank my brothers, Patrick and Matthew Bradley, for instilling within me a genuine sense of pride for Loyola before I stepped foot on campus.

Thank you to all my family members and friends who believed in me, encouraged me in playing football, and cheered on the sidelines over many years. In that regard, I must especially thank my late grandfather, Alfonso DiBenedetto, who was always my biggest fan and attended every game that I played. Knowing that family and friends were there supporting me with such love fueled my desire to perform well.

The years that I spent playing football at Loyola were a truly amazing time in my life. Writing this letter and reflecting on that time brings back so many emotions - but mostly gratitude. I am profoundly honored and humbled to be inducted for playing football at a school with such a rich tradition and history.

When I was a boy, I remember watching the 1993 IHSA State Championship Team and being filled with awe, admiration, and pride. I became consumed with a goal to be a part of that.

Sophomore year at Loyola, at age 15, I was given a very rare opportunity to be part of the varsity football team that I had grown up dreaming about. So young and still quite in awe, I was fortunately taken under the wing of the legendary Coach John Hoerster and especially by Coach Carl Favaro, Coach Fred Proesel, as well as an absolutely incredible collection of running backs that included Billy Pragalz, Sal DiMucci and Jon Schwabe. Each of these players were Loyola football legends and heroes in their own right. Since my graduation from Loyola in 2001, we have lost Coach Hoerster, Coach Favaro, Sal DiMucci and Jon Schwabe under tragic and unfair circumstances. I would like to accept this induction into the Hall of Fame in their honor and memory, which should never be and will never be forgotten. Without the tutelage and support of these men, I would not be writing this letter now. They represented the very best of what Loyola and Loyola Football are all about. Thank you all.

I would also like to thank renowned and fabled Coaches Frank Amato and Dan Seeberg for the time, instruction and support they gave me as part of the track team at Loyola. Thank you as well to Loyola’s longtime strength and fitness coach, Mike Zielinski (“Coach Z”), who was an unsung hero in helping me become the best athlete I could be. I would also not be writing this letter were it not for my teammates, especially the offensive lineman trained and mentored by Coach Les Seitzinger, who epitomizes that which is great about Loyola culture.

Football at Loyola Academy ingrains certain values such as faith, perseverance, hard work, teamwork, and leadership. I would like to thank my children, Lena Bradley and James Patrick Bradley, who I hope will read this one day and remember to believe in these values - and to believe in the good causes and ideals of a community which are bigger than themselves.

CROSS COUNTRY

At Loyola: Earned All-State honors en route to a 12th place finish at the 1992 IHSA State Championship...named All-Regional and All-Sectional...won the 1992 Chicago Catholic League Individual Championship...named Lawless Award winner for the Chicago Catholic League...won the IHSA Regional Championship and placed 7th at the IHSA Sectional...currently ranks as the 17th fastest Loyola runner at Detweiller Park (15:18).

First off, I would like to thank Loyola Academy for maintaining such a wonderful legacy of academics and athletics. I would also like to thank the Hall of Fame Selection Committee for considering me for such an amazing and prestigious accomplishment. I would like to thank Coach Stanley for allowing me to join the team late in the 1990 season during my sophomore year. I would like to give many thanks to Coach Seeberg for mentoring and supporting me through my junior year despite my injury late in the season, as well as his unwavering support and leadership that led us to monumental success during my senior year.

To my fellow inductees, congratulations on your accomplishments that have led us to this moment in history. I am humbled and honored to be joining you here today on this momentous occasion as we take our places in history along with those who came before us and those who will join us later in the future.

I am very thankful for the lessons that I learned at Loyola Academy. Our motto my senior year was something along the lines of, “Walk in their shoes.” That very motto has guided me through various challenges throughout my life, which include becoming an adult and navigating the various cultural differences I encountered during many deployments with U.S. Special Forces during the wartime era.

I want to thank and share this accomplishment with my teammates. Each year, I was blessed to have great teammates who would go above and beyond what was asked of them. Those motivating statements to each other during those long Tower runs made the thought of the distance seem small. Our willingness to stop and help each other get up if one of us tumbled in practice was exemplary. Your words of encouragement, telling me to “Run your race while we handle the rest,” and then following through was nothing short of amazing. Your selfless actions and determination are a true testament to how special the team was and the very reason we claimed the 1992 Catholic League Championship. I will always remember these years because they hold a special place in my memories. I could not have asked for better teammates.

Lastly, a special shout out and heartfelt thank you to my mother is in order. Without your unwavering support, I would have missed out on what I consider one of my three greatest accomplishments. Your loving attitude, candid words and tenacity helped me succeed not just on the cross country course, but also throughout my time in the pool and my entire military career. I am so glad that you were willing to put forth the effort even when you were exhausted with two athletic kids going to different schools. I know you’re proud of me and I’m so glad you get to see the fruits of your labor come to fruition as I accept induction into the Loyola Academy Hall of Fame.

Thank you so much, and I wish you all great success in all your future endeavors!!!

WOW! This is such an honor and a privilege to be selected into the Loyola Academy Athletic Hall of Fame. I have many people to thank who are deserving of recognition from the time I stepped on Loyola’s campus in 2006 to the present day. To start I’d like to thank the selection committee made up of coaches, teachers, staff, alumni and Ramblers of all kinds who have recognized me for my athletic career. This selection has meant a lot to me, my family, friends and my teammates as well.

Congratulations to everyone who is being honored this year. I am truly humbled to be mentioned and to share this accomplishment with so many astounding individuals.

In order to properly thank everyone I have to start at the very beginning in 2006. First I’d like to thank my family starting with my twin sister, Jill. As an 8th grader on the Northside of Chicago I had never heard of Loyola nor did I know of anyone that had ever gone there. My sister had. She had heard of it from our neighbor who went and was a few years older than us and implored her to check it out. On the day of the entrance exam, my mom asked me where I wanted to be dropped off and if I was going with my sister or somewhere else. Since I hadn’t come up with an alternative, I was off to Loyola to test. It was the best indecision I had ever made. I had no idea the impact that Loyola would make on my life, my character, my career and my faith. I think the only way to fully appreciate the community and how special of a place Loyola Academy is, is to experience it. For shaping the person I am today, I have to thank the school for letting my sister and I be a part of this community and the resources allowing my family to make it possible to send two kids up to Lake/Laramie on this amazing journey. For my parents, who made countless sacrifices and traveled many miles driving to Loyola from our home in Chicago, not to mention all the sporting events, too. I owe all my success, my opportunities and everything that I have ever earned in my life because of my parents. Mom and Dad are the true MVPs.

I have to thank my teachers and coaches I met during my time here who prepared me for many facets of life. All of my football coaches and wrestling coaches have played important roles in my life well beyond the final whistle. I have felt like after all my experiences at Loyola, it gave me great strength and confidence that I could tackle anything. No pun intended.

Being selected individually for football and wrestling is a literal dream come true only to be followed by being allowed to share that honor with my 2009 football teammates. I want to thank all of my teammates and best friends for giving me wonderful memories and allowing me to make my mark at Loyola Academy. The time after graduating high school I began to really understand the community that I was a part of. I was a Rambler for life. Every time I returned I was welcomed with open arms. I was able to connect, train and immerse myself with the Loyola culture again. I even had the privilege of coaching wrestling at Loyola for 4 years in an attempt to give back to the place that has given so much to me. The family-like atmosphere was something that you have to be here to experience, and I'm truly blessed to be a part of it all.

VOLLEYBALL

At Loyola: Earned All-State honors...named one of top 50 players in the country by Volleyball Monthly...averaged 13 kills a game for a total of 455 total kills...recorded a hitting average of .580...named Prep Athlete of the Week by the Chicago Tribune...first Loyola volleyball player to play Division 1 in college.

Thank you to the Loyola Hall of Fame selection committee on this great honor. I would like to especially thank my uncle, Coach Chuck Erlenbaugh, for starting the mens’ volleyball program at Loyola Academy and my dad, Coach Bob Erlenbaugh, for coaching not only my team but creating the strong program that exists today because of him.

None of this would have been possible without my family. My three phenomenal sisters, Jamie, Marijo and Maggie, who not only played volleyball all of the way through college themselves but were my best leaders on and off the court. They always believed in me and were my biggest fans. They were the loudest on the sidelines not only for my games, but currently are the best supporters at my daughters’ games. They were all great role models for coaching. They showed me how to handle when things go well and when things get tough- whether playing or coaching.

I could not have done any of this without my parents. My parents, Bob and Madge, have given me everything and are why I am where I am today. My parents never missed a game, whether they were coaching or cheering on the sidelines all through college. They were there during good times and bad and taught me how to deal with both. They knew the power of a good education and made sure that school came first. I will forever be grateful to them. I truly won the lottery being born into this Erlenbaugh family.

Finally, I would like to thank my own Erlenbaugh family. Kristin, my wife of 25 years, has been my best partner and I loved every minute of it, especially coaching our daughters together for 9 years. Last but not least, my two lovely daughters, Libby and Maisy, have given me so much joy in my life. Not only seeing them both play the sport I love but seeing them navigate through life. There have been many ups and a few downs, especially in the last few years, and to see how positive the girls have been at their age is truly something to behold.

I love you all so much!

GENERAL NOMINATION, COACH

At Loyola: Served as head men’s Lacrosse coach from 1987 to 2003, with a career record of 236-72....coached team to 7 State Championships, including 4 runner-up finishes...coached in the state championship game in 11 of his 17 years as coach...two-time Illinois Coach of the Year (1991, 1996)...coached the 1999 and 2002 teams to undefeated seasons in Illinois...coached 13 All-Americans while sending 37 players on to play NCAA Lacrosse...coached Loyola Youth Lacrosse for over 6 years.

In spring of 1987, after graduating from Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania, I spent a few months traveling the country. Upon concluding the trip, I decided to settle in Chicago to continue my postgraduate lacrosse-playing career. I quickly joined a club lacrosse team with some like-minded guys who were not yet ready to give up their playing careers. It was during a break at practice on a cold windy lakefront field when a coach from one of the only three existing high school lacrosse teams in the state entered our timeout huddle. He delivered an announcement saying Loyola Academy was interested in starting a lacrosse team and they needed a few coaches. Two of my teammates and I immediately exclaimed, “Let’s do this.”

From 1987-2003, I had the opportunity to coach lacrosse at LA every spring afternoon after teaching during the day at a Chicago Public School on Chicago’s North Side. I taught all subjects at the school while coaching tackle football, wrestling, basketball and even chess. But, in the back of my mind, I could not wait for spring to arrive so I could zip up to Loyola Academy and coach lacrosse.

I remember in year one – 1987 – our first practice was in the back faculty parking lot close to the dumpster. Loyola was all men back then so the first group I coached was a group of young ruffians who could not wait to get out to the parking lot and throw their weight around. I immediately thought: this was my type of school. These are my type of kids to coach.

In our first three years we got off to a slow start, but with a tremendous amount of dedication, desire and hustle, combined with a great work ethic (a true constant with all our LA teams), we changed the tide and never looked back.

After many successful seasons at Loyola Academy, I realized that none of this was possible without the players we had on our squads. They came to work every day eager to receive instruction and they always believed in output over outcome. These young men handled adversity and refused to lose. They did this with a sense of true grit, humility, and will to succeed. They were definitely the ultimate teammates and men for others. Thank you to all those amazing student-athletes that made coaching at LA so fun and rewarding for me.

I must also thank the coaching staff that surrounded me during my 17-year head coaching tenure. Many of the staff I had a pleasure to coach. There are still several on staff today, including Seamus McGowan ’99 and Brian Rynes ’99. All of them bought into our goal of dominating the opponent, and they played a huge role in accomplishing that mission. These assistant coaches helped create a great locker room and a healthy, competitive environment which enabled our LA student-athletes to achieve greatness. This continues to this day.

The Loyola lacrosse juggernaut did not miss a beat after I moved on after the 2003 season. Friend and fellow coach Rob Snyder took over the helm and made the Loyola Lacrosse program bigger and better. Our program captured our 14th Illinois State championship this past season. Thanks so much to Rob for improving on what I started.

I would also like to especially thank my family. My late wife Carolyn and my two Loyola Lacrosse playing sons, Michael ’19 and Alex ’22, who were very patient and understanding while they put up with my lacrosse coaching antics on the field and around the house.

In ending, congratulations to tonight’s other Hall of Fame inductees. I would finally like to thank the LA Hall of Fame selection committee and all of the Loyola Academy community who have helped make Loyola Lacrosse #1. There is no doubt. We are Loyola Lacrosse and together we win State Lacrosse Championships.

Edward Flynn

GENERAL NOMINATION, COACH

At Loyola: Spent 33 years coaching Football and mentoring athletes at Loyola...served as an instrumental part of both John Hoerster’s and John Holecek’s staffs...a highly competitive and hard nosed coach who loved his players, and his players loved playing for him...a tremendous developer of talent.

1. When I was born, World War II was still in progress. At that time, my father was in a place called OKINAWA.

2. In 1954 he took me to my first football game. The big game was between LEO and MT. CARMEL on a sunny Sunday afternoon. In addition to the crowd in the stands, a group of young men had gathered behind the east end zone. I wondered why and then by the middle of the first half, this crowd had grown and an argument ensued. This escalated into an altercation involving a dozen or more persons. The game was halted and two “paddy wagons” were summoned to subdue the miscreants. The police were initially “booed,” but when they left with the belligerents and dispersed the rest, the crowd cheered. To myself I thought this game of “football must be important.”

3. In 1958, my grammar school, St. Margaret of Scotland, had its first-ever football banquet. My father asked the head coach of LEO, Mr. Jim ARNEBERG to speak. He was simple, sincere and inspiring. I might add that he was an Army Ranger in World War II. After the war, Coach ARNEBERG attended a small midwestern college called LORAS.

4. After college and the Army, I was a young policeman working in the Old Town and Cabrini Green areas. I was introduced to a man named “Bear Herbert.” My friend had nicknames for many, but what impressed me about Herbert was he knew the south side. His mother was from Grand Crossing, and he married a young woman from Roseland. We talked a lot about baseball.

5. A few years later, Herbert was a burglary detective and I was in homicide. I would see him every week. When it came time for me to sign my son up for little league, I asked his advice. He told me to go to Pottawattomie Park, which I did. The man who ran the Little League was named KOTOSKI (coach Mike’s Dad), who told me to come back the next day. When I arrived, he handed me a blank sheet of paper saying, this is for your team. I said, “I CAN’T COACH.” He assured me I’d be all right and that I should go out to tryouts. So I did. My first pick was a quick left hand hitter named Tim DEVINE (as a bonus I got his younger brother PETER) My next pick was a big, blonde fellow named Jim DOOLEY, May God rest his soul. So that’s it. HERBERT, KOTOSKI, DEVINE and DOOLEY—fortyfour years later.

6. John HOERSTER was from St Rita H.S. John was four years younger than I am. When he was a freshman, Rita’s varsity was terrific. Most of their players were from my parish. John’s best friend was the younger brother of one of my buddies. In 1988, with John leading the Loyola Academy football team, I offered to scout varsity opponents. Then, in 1989, I asked if he might have a coaching spot for me. He gave me a limited role as “Scout” team coach. One of John’s former players, Scott BAUM, had been a QB, PK, DB. John’s trust in Scott’s abilities was significant. Scott helped me get up to speed with Terminology, formations, coverage, and techniques so I could make a contribution. Scott’s mentoring and companionship has lasted through many different situations in our lives.

7. In the 1980s, I was introduced to Carl FAVARO. He was coaching at Weber H. S. He was working as a “master mixologist” at a night spot near Loyola Univ. Later, when Carl met his lovely wife, I found out she was from my neighborhood (though considerably younger). I knew her uncle and cousin.

8. Following Hoerster’s and then Favaro’s passing, there was the inevitable transition, which culminated in John Holecek joining the football program. I was flattered when John HOLECEK gave me an opportunity to continue as a varsity coach. In 2006, I recognized his name from NFL tenure but little more. What I got to know was a passionate advocate for his players. In retrospect JOHN had a vision of not only where we were (we weren’t bad) but what this program could be and has become. John’s intellectual capabilities could have sent him to other careers and occupations, but he chose this one and boy are we fortunate for that decision. John’s father grew up a few blocks from me and his mother went to Longwood (95th & Loomis). When I was a young guy in the park the tough guys had an expression. “YOU TALK THE TALK,” but “ CAN YOU WALK THE WALK?” Let me tell you John HOLECEK “WALKS the WALK.”

Each of the fine men I’ve mentioned above have helped to shape me as a coach. Through my induction into the Loyola Academy Hall of Fame, they are there in spirit with me.

GOLF

At Loyola: Led team to the 2000 IHSA State Championship...fouryear member of the Varsity Golf team….named team Most Valuable Player three times...recorded five tournament wins…team won four Catholic League championships.

Thank you to Loyola Academy and the Selection Committee for the induction into the Loyola Academy Athletic Hall of Fame. When I first took the call from Coach Kane advising me of the induction, I thought it was another Dan Valenti prank call, but after a few skeptical questions and a confused coach, I was convinced it wasn’t and pleasantly surprised.

This is an amazing honor, and I’m happy to be back at 1100 Laramie. Next to marrying my wife Kyla, attending Loyola is one of the best decisions I’ve made. The description of it being a “Jesuit College Preparatory” school is well stated. It affords the perfect combination of a rigorous academic curriculum with a top-notch athletic program mixed in with the balance of Jesuit values. I don’t think there is another high school in Chicago that produces as wellrounded alumni as Loyola, and I’m proud to call it my alma mater.

I would like to thank my parents – Jim and Sandee – for introducing me to the game of golf. It takes patience to get a rambunctious young boy into the game. They also provided the necessary equipment and instruction that gave me the greatest chance of success along with countless weeks of their lives driving and flying around to tournaments providing unwavering support; the time and financial sacrifice was selfless, and I am forever grateful.

Also thank you to Coaches Kane and Del Fava for giving me a chance to play on the long and storied Loyola Golf Team. Coach Kane for giving me a spot on the team and Coach Del Fava for taking the chance on moving a greenhorn freshman up to varsity on the defending state championship team. I grew up fast that first year, but the experience was incredible, and the memories still burn bright.

One of the coolest things about high school golf is it turns an individual sport into a team sport, and playing for your teammates introduces a whole new pressure and motivates you in a different way than playing for yourself. I don’t remember who was in my Algebra 1 class but could name every member of the Loyola golf team. Lifelong friendships formed on the Wilmette Golf Course links. Brian Lafferty, while only a year older, was years wiser, and has been a teammate/friend/mentor and the one who ultimately convinced me to follow his footsteps to Georgetown. Bobby Mo, Danny Valenti, AC Collins, Stretch Grodecki, Andrew Rueve, Matt Murlas and Ryan Robinson all were great teammates who helped make memories of a lifetime.

Thank you again for this selection and GO RAMBLERS.

I would like to recognize Loyola Academy and the Selection Committee for this induction into the Loyola Academy Athletic Hall of Fame. Having the opportunity to play four years of softball at Loyola Academy allowed me to play the sport I love with the best teammates and friends.

I was on the 2009 State Championship team, and I am forever grateful to be a part of the first softball team at Loyola Academy to win a state championship. Our team was 36-2 on the season, and we were 7-0 in our state championship run. It was by far one of the most memorable seasons of softball I have ever played and one of the greatest experiences of my life.

I would like to thank my family first. My dad was my biggest supporter and my biggest critic. I know if he were here today, he would be more than proud of this accomplishment and honor of being inducted into the Loyola Academy Hall of Fame. My mom would always go above and beyond to be at every game and make sure I had everything I needed. I would not be the person I am today without my parents’ ongoing support and sacrifices. I would like to thank my sister for her unwavering support and pushing me to be my best self. I also want to give a heartfelt and loving thank you to my husband.

Next, I want to thank all my coaches and teammates throughout my career. Brian Edwards, you took me on your travel team when I was ten years old and stuck by me until I graduated from Loyola Academy. I cannot thank you enough for all the doors you opened in my life. Coach Jennings, Q, and Ed, thank you for everything you did for me and the Loyola Academy softball program. Thank you to my teammates - I was so lucky to have some of the best moments of my life and memories which will last a lifetime because of all of you. I would also like to thank John Hanrahan, who pushed me week in and week out to be a better, stronger, tougher pitcher.

Lastly, thank you Loyola Academy and the Selection Committee for this opportunity. Congratulations to everyone else who is being inducted into this year’s Hall of Fame, including our 2009 State Championship Team!

Go Ramblers!

For me, it’s impossible to think of Loyola Academy without feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude. So much of who I am and how my life story has unfolded involves some intersection of the maroon and gold, so “thank you” seems wildly insufficient. But here it goes:

First and foremost, thank you to my parents for making the decision to send me to this incredible school in the first place. My life changed for the better when I became a Rambler and I have loved being a part of this community ever since. Sending your children to Loyola takes sacrifice and selflessness and that epitomizes the kind of parents you are. It was you who supported me as a student and as an athlete, and you who encouraged me to transfer to Boston College to continue playing lacrosse to pursue my dream. I must say it’s much easier to reach for lofty goals when you know your parents will be there to catch you if you fall. Spotting you in the stands before the start of a game was something I never took for granted. Seeing you inspired me, gave me confidence, and calmed my nerves, and you still have that effect on me today. Thank you for sending me to Loyola and BC so that I could discover who I was meant to be. I love you!

So many of my immediate and extended family are here to celebrate with me tonight—thank you! Special thanks to my sister Maggie for introducing me to lacrosse and for encouraging me to play. I wasn’t too keen on starting a new sport my freshman year in high school, but Maggie taught me how to play in those few short weeks between the end of basketball and the beginning of the lacrosse season. Not only was she my first coach, but she was and always has been my biggest cheerleader in sports and life. To my brother Doug—thank you for the endless hours you spent playing “lacrosse-baseball” with me. You too have been a tireless superfan of my lacrosse career, but more importantly, you are a great friend, and I am so grateful.

To my teammates and friends who are here tonight—Elizabeth, Ellie, Hillary, and Shannon—thank you for making me look good on the lacrosse field. You too deserve to be recognized. You were amazing teammates, but are even better friends. We had so much fun playing together because we genuinely enjoyed each other’s company. That was true then and it’s true now! It feels like no time has passed, even though we just celebrated our 20-year reunion! Congratulations to Nora Dwyer ’01 and the 2003 girls’ lacrosse team who are also being inducted tonight and all the other honorees. What an honor it is to be recognized with you.

Coach Dwyer—it was a privilege to play for you and a privilege to coach beside you. You encourage, inspire, and engage your athletes far beyond the confines of the lacrosse field. You made me love lacrosse and taught me so much about the game. You introduced us to travel teams, lacrosse camps, and more, always offering us an array of opportunities to work on our game. You, too, had an incredible role in my decision to play at Boston College. And though I may never know the phone calls and promises you made; I know they made being a walk-on a little bit easier. Thank you for trusting me with your reputation! Beyond lacrosse, your support of our son, Ryan, and our entire family has been incredible. When Ryan was diagnosed with Angelman syndrome in 2016, you reached out right away, delivering a BC sweatshirt and a dose of faith, hope and love. You always reminded us he was in your prayers, and you kept your coaching hat on, encouraging us along the way with a thoughtful text or reminding us of your prayer intentions for him. Most recently, the way you have brought our entire family back into the Loyola lacrosse fold has been so meaningful. We are so grateful to your teams of the last 6 years that have fundraised via concession stands, bake sales and more to support Angelman syndrome research. Being surrounded by the Loyola lacrosse community again has brought our entire family great joy. You really practice what you preach—leading the next generation of women and men for others.

To my husband, Ben I’m so glad we met in these halls 12 years ago while we were both working at Loyola Academy. You were an amazing teacher, a great coach, and a priceless friend—you are the MVP of our family and the best teammate I could ever ask for. I feel so lucky to have you by my side taking on the trials and tribulations of parenting. Ryan, Patty, and Jay are the greatest “trophies” of my life—representing my most important role, and I’m so grateful for that responsibility. I hope they will be Ramblers one day, too!

Congratulations to all the athletes and coaches who are also being inducted into this year’s Hall of Fame. It is an honor to be inducted with such accomplished individuals.

And now, there are a few individuals we’d like to thank individually.

We’d like to start off by thanking our soccer coaches, Coach Etheridge and Coach Agombar. You both taught us more than how to simply play the beautiful game. You taught us the English language. Because of the two of you, we now know that “the mixer” is not a Kitchen Aid but rather the 18-yard box. We learned that “rubbish” is not the trash, rather it perfectly describes Spencer’s defense eight days out of the week. “You muppet” refers to when Dylan attempted using his right foot at all. And finally, we learned that “the pitch” is not something pitchers throw in baseball but rather where we supposedly play the game of soccer. We mean football. Proper football. In all sincerity, you both played a large role in molding us into the men we are today – so from the bottom of our hearts – we say thank you!

And now to our track coaches. The men who enjoyed watching us run until our legs shook, our hands were on our head, and pain flowed through every muscle in our bodies. To Coach Amato, thank you for scaring the bejesus out of us every time you asked to have a conversation. Your presence alone made us straighten up. To Coach Behof, thank you for being our friend when Coach Seeberg wanted nothing more than to ruin our afternoon with interval workouts and more laps. You were a ray of sunshine even in our darkest training moments. And to Coach Seeberg, the Silver Fox, thank you for teaching us what it was like to push a little further. To run a little harder. And to believe in ourselves – even when our bodies didn’t want to. Lastly, thank you all for recognizing the grave mistake of having us run the 3200m as freshman – more than a mile and half further than either of us wanted or needed. Less is always more.

Thank you to all our teammates who played a massive role in the team successes we had during our time at Loyola. The memories that we created and the friendships that we made are something that we both are incredibly grateful for. The teams that we were fortunate to be a part of are some of the best moments in our life.

SOCCER AND TRACK & FIELD

At Loyola:

Soccer: Named 2008 Lawless Award winner for the Chicago Catholic League...named to the All-Sectional team senior year...two-time member of the All-Catholic League team (2007, 2008).

Track & Field: Helped lead 3 relay teams to the IHSA State Championship...won two Catholic League titles in the 800m Run...member of Sectional and CCL winning 4x400m Relay team...member of three school record setting relay teams...fifth fastest 800m runner in Loyola history...holds career bests of 50.84 (400m), 1:56.58 (800m), and 4:39.55 (1600m)...earned second-team All-Catholic League honors in Cross Country during senior year.

At USC: Competed from 2010-2013, earning a varsity letter... 800m specialist with a personal best time of 1:53.71.

(Continued from previous page)

Now we’d like to thank the people we love dearest. Our family. To our mom, thank you for your unconditional love, support and encouragement. You are a true hero in every sense of the word. To our dad, thank you for making it a priority to be there for every game or meet. And being the loudest parent yelling “tactics” about a sport you never played. Thank you for giving us $20 for lunch every week so that you didn’t have to prepare it, for waking us up at 6am every morning when sleep was so good, and for marrying mom – you definitely shot above your league on that one. We love you both to the moon and back!

To our sister, Mallory, thank you for being our favorite sister all those years ago and even to this day. You may be our only sister. But don’t let that take away from the favorite title. Speaking of favorites, thank you for being our parents’ favorite child and making sure that we got blamed for everything – regardless of the act. Karma is coming, don’t you worry. P.S. – also congrats to Josh, your fiancé, for signing up to deal with the two of us for the rest of his days!

Dylan: To my brother Spencer, regarding soccer – thank you for never wasting energy defending and only looking for the glory of scoring. No wonder you were able to run cross country during our senior season. In track, thank you for always acting tough and never acting tired, even though you were, making Coach Seeberg make us run more. Not cool.

Spencer: To my brother Dylan, regarding soccer - thank you for selfishly inflating your own soccer stats over team success. No matter what you say, I was definitely open and the video doesn’t lie. In track, thank you for being faster at the shorter distances, forcing me to run the longer races – meaning I had to run longer and further at practice. Not cool.

Spencer: Finally, I’d love to thank my smoking hot wife, Hayley. I obviously hadn’t met you yet so I can’t really thank you for anything I did in high school. That would be lying. But, I can thank you for saying “Yes” when I dropped to one knee. Marrying you is the second-best decision I ever made. The first, obviously, was deciding to enroll at Loyola Academy!!

Forever and always – Go Ramblers!

SWIMMING AND DIVING

At Loyola: Nine-time high school All-American…won back-toback state titles (200 Freestyle and 500 Freestyle) in 2002 and 2003...first female athlete to win a swimming state championship at Loyola...recorded first program top 10 finish at State Championship…served as an assistant swim coach at Loyola.

At University of California, Berkeley: Team captain...multiple individual event All-American...Olympic Trials qualifier.

Loyola Academy, Hall of Fame selection committee, fellow inductees, family and friends, THANK YOU. This event and honor would not be possible without all of you. The greatest thanks is to each of our parents, Michael and Jean are mine, and the love and grace they had as we aspired to become the best student-athletes possible. The support and sacrifice from my parents was pivotal in my ability to write this and be here today to accept this honor.

Thank you, Loyola Academy, for giving me the best education and possibility for success in the classroom and pool. As I walked through the halls, I felt the support of the staff and community to be the best. The drive and dedication to those who were here during my time at Loyola will never be forgotten. Loyola Academy is a special place, and I am grateful to be an alumna.

Congratulations to all the inductees who will make up this Class of 2022. It is my honor and privilege to be surrounded by accomplished fellow Ramblers. Thank you, members of the selection committee, for voting me to join fellow legendary Ramblers with this prestigious honor.

To the swim coach who made it possible to join Loyola Academy: I owe you. Thank you, Coach Dennis Stonequist, for trusting the process, and pushing me to be a champion in the pool and a leader to my teammates, while making swimming for 100 days fun! Thank you, Garrett Woodward, for making time to be on the deck and push my athletic ability as I attempted to complete swim sets that seemed impossible. A bigger thanks is due to my teammates and peers who were vital in my success in the pool… to all those who were a part of my success—thank you from the bottom of my heart.

As I have reflected on the Loyola Academy experience, I catch myself smiling and laughing at the positive impact those years had on my life. The lifelong friendships are priceless, life experiences are unique, and the quality of humans that are Ramblers are second to none. My time as a Loyola Rambler was a life highlight that reinforced dedication, determination, grit, loyalty, and perseverance.

CROSS COUNTRY AND TRACK & FIELD

At Loyola: Earned All-Regional honors in Cross Country three years in a row...earned All-Conference honors four years in Track & Field and three years in Cross Country...set six individual school records while at Loyola...first female athlete in Loyola history to qualify for the IHSA State Cross Country Championship...won two individual GCAC titles in Track & Field...two-time USATF national qualifier in the 3000m.

At University of Illinois: Received the George Huff Award in 2005-06, awarded for excellence in academic and athletic achievement.

Talk about being in good company! Congratulations to all my fellow Hall of Famers! Thank you to the Loyola Academy Hall of Fame Committee for including me in this year’s class of inductees. It is truly an honor to be included in this prestigious group.

When I started my freshman year at Loyola Academy, I was a shy girl who liked to run. Joining the cross country and track teams allowed me to grow and evolve in so many ways besides only running. I discovered a sport, team, and community that I loved and I have been able to take with me throughout my life. From having the privilege of competing in college for the University of Illinois to continuing to run marathons to this day – recently completing a lifelong goal of completing all 6 major marathons! The running community has shaped me and supported me and that all started at Loyola Academy. Thank you to all the coaches who helped me through my time at Loyola, Coach Amato, Coach Seeberg, Coach Gibbons, Coach Behof and most importantly Coach Simon. Coach Simon helped me to excel as a runner and as a person. Coach Simon spent many hours running with me, timing me and building my confidence, allowing me to be able to run with confidence and take that confidence with me whereever I went. Not only on the track, but off it as well. I babysat Coach Simon’s 6 children as well and spend time with his wife, Laura, and they both were always looking out for me and were instrumental in shaping who I am today.

Thank you to my teammates; cross country and track are unique because they are both team and individual sports. I would not have been able to accomplish my achievements without their support. We would always pick each other up after a bad race and they made running fun! As the first female Rambler to qualify for the state cross country meet, it wasn’t only a great accomplishment for myself, but I hope opened the door for future generations of runners to see that it was possible to dream big and go for your goals. I knew there would be many great Ramblers that followed me! I always tried to lead by example and lift my teammates up, because together we can do much greater things than we can alone.

Thank you to my family, who spent countless hours watching me at track meets in the cold and rain. They always supported me to do my best, keep trying and believe in myself. They still support to me to this day — flying all over the world to watch me run marathons — and seeing me for only a few seconds during the race! Seeing them on the course always gives me something to look forward to!

And finally thank you to the Loyola Academy community, I truly treasured my 4 years there both on and off the track. It gave me a place to grow and learn. And I’m so grateful for my time there. It gave me a motto for my life — women and men for others — and I hope to fulfill this.

LACROSSE

At Loyola: Named All-American, All-Conference, and to the AllStar team...second leading scorer as midfielder with 62 points (37 goals and 25 assists) and 2nd in ground balls picked up...leading scorer and MVP in the league’s All-Star game with 7 goals...helped lead the 1990 team to an 18-1 record and the state title.

“It’s not about me, it’s about the team!” A motto I learned while playing lacrosse at Loyola that has stuck with me to this day. Whether it is playing a sport or building a culture for those around the league or state to admire, recognizing that the team always comes before an individual’s records or success is important.

Back in the summer of 1986, when I was playing catch at Central Park with guys from the Evanston lacrosse program, I certainly never thought it would develop into being here today. I am humbled by this recognition of being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Humbled because my success was surrounded by so much hard work with others. Working alongside a small group of upperclassmen to start the lacrosse program was the beginning of something special at Loyola. Building a program from the ground up was a huge effort by coaches like Randy Mayne, Mike Feuer, Rich Martin and others. Our sponsor, Mr. Pat Rattigan, worked tirelessly with the lacrosse parent board to find ways to secure fields, coaches and finances to help the program grow. We had volunteer managers from other schools who wanted to see us succeed and a small fan base that had no clue what lacrosse was. But look at Loyola lacrosse now!

Loyola Academy gave me the foundation of confidence to take risks and work hard for what you believe in. Thank you to all of the administrators at Loyola for taking a chance on our idea of starting this program and thank you to Coach Feuer for your dedication to grow the sport and relentless effort to make me compete day in and day out. Coach believed in me and what I could do not just as a player, but as a leader. He took the time to push me, to challenge me, to hold me accountable and to teach me to do the same with my teammates. Fifty wall catches turned into a hundred. Ten sets of tree dodges without hanging the stick turned into twenty. Using the left hand and right hand picking corners or bouncing inside the pipes for an hour turned into two or three hours. Coach Feuer taught me that if I want to be successful, I have to outwork others. Being named All-American in 1990 or Coach of the Year in 1998 was because of Coach Feuer’s guidance, confidence and never ending push to help me succeed. His life lessons continue to make me better at what I do today.

My teammates in the fourth year of our program drove me to be the best I could be. We all had a hunger for success and a passion to turn the corner with a young program. Losing by 15 plus goals a game was in the past, because WE all wanted to out work teams like New Trier, Lake Forest and Evanston. The school’s first state championship in 1990 was from our guys working together and being led by a coach who wouldn’t let us back down. This experience is something I will never forget. I became a better player and leader because of my teammates. Thank you to all the guys who put in the work. You made me better. You made Loyola lacrosse better.

Thank you to my family for all of the support throughout my adventures of playing and coaching lacrosse. Growing up you embraced the highs and lows of competition in a sport that we learned together. A special thank you to my dad, Robert Tarjan (Class of ’61), who found the time to serve on the lacrosse parent board and help build the Loyola program in its early days.

Loyola Academy has been a staple in our family for many years, and I am thankful for the opportunity to grow from the lessons learned through my high school years and on the lacrosse field. My wife, Heather, and I are fortunate to have been able to watch our oldest son Shane (Class of ’22) learn similar life lessons through his four years of basketball at Loyola. We are excited to see our son Jimmy (Class of ’24) enjoy his journey through basketball at Loyola, and soon my eighth grade daughter Maggie will hopefully find her fit at Loyola as well. Athletics have been a big part of our lives, and we love the lessons it has taught us all. Thank you, Hall of Fame Committee members, for this incredible honor.

1991 Men’s Volleyball Team

Team finished the season with a 31-3 record...team placed 3rd in State Tournament...team won Regional and Sectional titles.

The 1991 Boy’s Volleyball Team would like to take this unique opportunity to thank the Hall of Fame committee for the honor of joining Loyola Academy’s most successful athletes in the Athletic Hall of Fame. We would not be enjoying this significant recognition were it not for the commitment, encouragement, and support of our exceptional coaches, loving parents and extra ordinary teachers.

To our coaches – Bob and Chuck Erlenbaugh and Gene Keefe – we share a hearty thank you! To start a new team and a new program in one of the most competitive leagues in Illinois was already a major accomplishment. But to lead that team and that fledgling program – in only a few short months – to a 3rd place finish is a testament to the positive vision and unwavering commitment Coaches Erlenbaugh and Coach Keefe brought to our team and Loyola Academy. We’re eternally grateful for that support and, more importantly, for the athletic, academic and life lessons you taught us along the way.

To all our many supporters throughout the season, especially our parents, families and teachers, we share our sincere gratitude. Your countless hours of encouragement and participation gave us the courage and stick-to-it-iveness required to not only excel in our sport but, more importantly, to thrive as responsible young men living the Ignatian ideal of “Women and Men for Others.” We wouldn’t be here today to celebrate this significant honor without you. Thank you so much.

As the founding members of what is now one of Illinois’ most recognized and successful volleyball programs, the 1991 Boy’s Volleyball Team is humbled to join the Loyola Academy Athletic Hall of Fame.

Thank you and Go Ramblers!

2003 Women’s Lacrosse Team

2003 IHSWLA Sate Champions...team recorded a 26-1-1 record...team produced one AllAmerican, six All-State athletes, and 11 IHSWLA All-Star selections.

On behalf of the 2003 Loyola Academy girls’ lacrosse team, we would like to thank the Hall of Fame Selection Committee for this incredible honor. We would also like to extend our sincerest gratitude to Coach Dwyer and his support staff, our families, and the broader Loyola communi ty.

Girls’ lacrosse in the early 2000s in Illinois was in its infancy. Most, if not all, of us had never held a lacrosse stick prior to freshman year tryouts, but you'd never have known it when Coach hosted us on rented fields in Northfield. While the athletes on this team no doubt earned every W on the record, this is largely a testament to a man, a coach, and a father who saw an opportu nity for young women to experience what it means to excel on a sports field. The league was small, the competitors were limited, and the talent was green (to say the least), but we felt like we were training for game 7 of the NBA finals (the only winning team us Chicagoans had ever known) all year round. Coach Dwyer treated us all with the utmost respect and compassion, while expecting excellence on the field. That didn't mean perfection, but meant total commitment. When we think about the lessons carried forward all these years later, we think about what it meant to us when we got to play on Hoerster Field, trained in the weight room in pre-school hours along with the boys, and ran all those laps around Techny. He never allowed us a second to doubt that we deserved to be there and for that we are forever grateful. That alone is a lesson all young women deserve to have.

And to our families, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting us along the way, which often meant traveling long distances to cheer us on in freezing temperatures, funding our trips to experience the sport in more mature markets, and making us feel like every game mattered as much to you as it did to us. It's easy to dismiss your high school athletic career as a juvenile memory, but an experience like this truly transforms and inspires young people for a lifetime. Thank you for investing in us and giving us that experience.

And lastly, to Loyola, we thank the community as a whole. It's easy to look at this award through a 2022 lens, but the women's sports world in 2003 was different. Only a decade after its transition to a co-education school, Loyola recognized the importance and development potential that sports had for all students, women included. Many of us as parents of young girls today thank you. What a gift that we will raise our kids in a world where this is second nature, but we know it was n't then. We can't wait to be back celebrating our girls in 2050!

2003 Women’s Lacrosse Team

2009 Football Team

Team reached the state semi-finals en route to an 11-2 record and a Chicago Catholic League Blue title...the defense allowed a total of 97 points while opponents averaged 7 points per game for the entirety of the 13 game season...highly efficient offense complimented the defense.

The 2009 Men’s Football team would like to thank the selection committee for the honor of joining Loyola Academy’s most elite student athletes in the Athletic Hall of Fame.

First, we would also like to recognize our incredible coaching staff. The man who started this is undoubtedly Coach Holecek. We cannot say enough about Coach Holecek's incredible leadership, passion, and knowledge for the great game of football. His collegiate/professional experience was paramount to our success.

More importantly, Coach Holecek and the entire coaching staff's impact on our personal develop ment provided us with an elite mental approach and discipline that kick-started the Ramblers run as the premier team in the state. It was the entire staff's contributions to our success: coordinators, position coaches, trainers, student-trainers, and our fellow student-athletes. We appreciate you all.

We would also be remiss to not recognize our parents for their support. Their commitment to sup porting the long hours we put in during summer ball, practices, team meals, and more. But their commitment to our development as men for others is their legacy to this team. Their hard work made it possible to attend Loyola Academy, giving us the ability to interact with extraordinary people, and opened the doors into our bright futures. We are forever grateful.

The ’09 season was special for everyone involved...top tier talent on both sides of the ball (partic ularly the D...), sweeping the southsiders (Mt.Carmel twice!), but most importantly, lifelong friendships. While our state championship hopes may have stopped a game short, it means the world to be recognized and included in such an honorable and successful Hall of Fame.

Thank you and Go Ramblers!

2009 Softball Team

IHSA Class 4A State Champions...GCAC Champions...ranked #1 by Chicago Sun Times and Chicago Tribune...team ranked 30th nationally by ESPN Rise...team finished the season with a 36-2 record.

On behalf of the 2009 Loyola Academy softball team, we would like to thank the Hall of Fame committee for recognizing our achievements and inducting us into the prestigious Loyola Athletic Hall of Fame. It is truly an honor to have our names alongside so many other great Rambler ath letes and teams.

The success of our team was not only defined by the skills and attributes of our teammates, but also the commitment of our parents who supported our growth as students and athletes every step of the way. The sacrifices that they made to put us in the best position to succeed will be something that none of us can ever repay. Their support was truly the backbone of this team.

To our coaches - Coach Jennings, Coach Q, and Coach Fink - thank you! Their ability to maximize the potential of our team and put each of us in a position to contribute to our overall success was obvious. But their ability to listen, keep things fun, and push us to unthinkable heights will be what we all remember about them. Thank you!

The story of the 2009 State Championship team will forever be historic.

0 runs scored against us in the playoffs

A marathon semifinal that ended on a walk-off error

Consensus #1 team in Illinois

Player of the Year in Illinois

Back to back GCAC Champions

1st GCAC school to win a state softball championship

1st school north of Chicago to win a state softball championship

But for all the accomplishments we earned, the way we came together will be what defined this team. From our bus trips to Edwardsville, the journey back to Peoria the day after the title, to the pregame song that set the tone for our playoff run. The bond this team carries is as historic as the accomplishments we achieved.

Thank you to all who supported us, who pushed us, and who joined us for a wild ride that left us all Livin’ on a Prayer.
