Halter among 23 to be inducted into SD Sports Hall of Fame this fall

The South Dakota Sports Hall of Fame will be inducting 23 sports legends on Sunday, Sept. 14, 2025, at the Sioux Falls Convention Center and Flandreaus Vern Halter, South Dakotas most well-known sled dog racer, will be one of them.
The 2025 class also includes perhaps the greatest kicker in NFL history, world record holders, champion coaches, women athlete pioneers and a pro cowboy. Tickets will go on sale later this year.
Along with Halter, the new inductees are: Jo (Haase) Auch, Tom Casey, Jessi Combs (deceased), Cathy Coyle, Donovan Gibbs (deceased), Ryan Jansa, brothers Edgar and Hobart Lone Hill (both deceased), Guy Mackner, Bill Marquardt, Kim Nelson, Candi Nielsen, Tom Reeves, John Deac Sanders, John Stig Stiegelmeier, Jumping Jim Tays, Mark Tetzlaff, Dennis Tiefenthaler, Buck Timmins (deceased), Lemoine Trout (deceased), Jim Uttecht and Adam Vinatieri.
With the 23 new inductees, the hall will have enshrined 395 women and men from every part of
the state representing more than 30 sports. The South Dakota Sports Hall of Fame was established in 1968 by the South Dakota Sportswriters Association. A group of unpaid volunteers from across the state now manages it.
Inductees are voted into the hall in four categories: as athletes, coaches, contributors (such as media, administrators and/or officials) and/or legends (deceased)
To help preserve the hall and continue its mission, tax-free donations of any amount are always welcomed and appreciated. Click on the link SDHSoF Capital Campaign or send contributions to:
