Nine legendary Louisiana athletes and contributors are set to join the Hall of Fame next summer, including LSU football icons Leonard Fournette and Patrick Peterson, baseball stars Aaron Hill and Ryan Theriot, jockey Robby Albarado (Triple Crown winner), coaches Jim Wells and Hank Tierney, and ULM’s Lisa Ingram — who led her team to the Final Four. After a rigorous three-week vote by 40 sports writers from 144 nominees, this diverse class celebrates Louisiana’s rich athletic heritage. The induction ceremony kicks off June 24–26 in Natchitoches, marking the 68th year of honoring champions — bringing the total Hall members to 512 since its founding in 1958.
