The Alaska Sports Talk podcast brings you a special, can’t-miss episode celebrating the Class of 2026 Alaska High School Hall of Fame Inductees—a group that helped shape the foundation and future of sports across the state.

In this episode, we sit down with an incredible lineup of inductees including Dick Shellhorn, Tom Hollman, Jackson Lehnhart, Gary Lehnhart, Diana Ervin, Jamie Smith, Robert Walkotte, and Colton Lauwers. Each conversation dives into their journeys, the defining moments of their careers, and the impact they’ve had on athletes, programs, and communities throughout Alaska.

From decades of coaching excellence and program building to unforgettable performances on the field and court, these inductees share stories that highlight what makes Alaska athletics so unique—grit, community, and a deep love for the game. You’ll hear reflections on how the sport has evolved in the state, lessons learned along the way, and what this honor means not just personally, but for the generations that follow.

It’s a powerful episode filled with legacy, perspective, and appreciation for the people who built Alaska high school sports into what it is today.
