Wells was a 10-time letter winner starring in softball, basketball and swimming.  Wright was an 8-time letter winner as a Bobcat, earning one in golf, three in baseball and four in soccer.  The 2001 Women’s Basketball Team, coached by Stuart Dean, became the 2001 N Y S Class 'C' Champions.  The team also won the Team Scholar Athlete Award with a Team GPA of over 95.0.  The LadyCats Swimming and Diving team, coached by Diane Hicks-Hughes, set 25 School records, 36 Pool records, 21 League records, 3 EFA Meet records, 4 I A C Championship records, 9 Class “C” Section IV records, 1 Section IV over-all record and 3 Section IV State Qualifier Meet records. They set 333 “Personal Best” times and swam over 125 miles during the season.

This year marks a new format for the Hall Of Fame induction ceremony.  It will take place at the Lakewatch Inn after cocktails and dinner.  In past years the ceremony was sandwiched between varsity and junior varsity basketball games in the Lansing High School gymnasium.

Individual Inductees are given a plaque with a picture and description of their achievements.  A duplicate is placed on the Hall of Fame wall behind the high school gymnasium.  Team plaques are placed on the wall and team members receive a certificate commemorating their achievements.  The Hall of Fame was founded in 1998 under the direction of former Lansing High School Athletic Director, Ed Redmond.  Currently there are nearly 70 individual and teams represented.
