Steve King, Jim Shillow, Bert Hampton, Tom Regan, Dave White, Ben Work, Janice GuyllShields, and Vivian Murray-Tiller were enshrined during alumni night on Solanco High School’s track on April 14. “The tradition here is just so great between coach (Art) Harrington, coach (Dan) McCardell, coach (Lee) Rhodes, and Wags (coach John Waggoner),” said Craig Ausel, who is a member of the Solanco Cross Country & Track Alumni Association board of directors. “What’s cool is to see these alumni who are 60-something years old or older come back and call Har ‘Coach’ or ‘Mr. Harrington.’ There’s just so much good stuff about it. (The alumni love) coming back.” King, a 1961 Solanco graduate, was the Lancaster County champion in the 100- and 220-yard dashes and the team’s leading
scorer in his senior season. King passed away in 2017, and his daughter, Dakota, and brothers, Mark and Timothy, accepted the honor on his behalf. “It means a lot to the family,” Dakota said. “He’s the one who instilled the love for the sport in me, and then I did it in middle school and high school and college, and now I’m coaching at the

He was the Lancaster County champion in the pole vault, jumping a thenleague-record 12 feet, 7 inches. “It is quite an honor,” Hampton said. “It’s a great feeling to be recognized. I was always a Mule, and I am proud to be here.” Regan, a 1969 graduate, was a distance standout for Solanco from 1966 to 1969. He was the 1969 Lancaster County champion in the 1-mile run. Regan was also a member of the first Solanco Cross-Country Hall of Fame class. White, a 1971 graduate, was
