The Chambersburg Athletics Hall of Fame inducted its inaugural class of inductees last September, and it has now released the names of the second class, for 2025.
The induction weekend is Sept. 12-13. At Friday's night's football game vs. Harrisburg, the new class will be introduced to the crowd. On Saturday the class and friends and family members will join for a noon banquet, where the presentations will be made.
Hall of Fame committee chairman Corey Dayley said, "We are extremely excited to announce our 2025 HoF class, especially after how successful last year's event was. The football game was great and the HoF banquet was really special. We are looking forward to a repeat of that come this fall."
The 2025 class of inductees, listed in alphabetical order, includes:
— Chris Clever, athlete (track & field, basketball)
— Ben Gabler, athlete (tennis)
— Garett Hammond, athlete (wrestling)
— Lori Reese, athlete (basketball, softball)

The committee will release separate biographical stories of each of the inductees over the summer months, leading up to the induction.
The Hall of Fame committee was formed in 2023. Nominations for inductees have been solicited since then, and anyone in the community may nominate a person for the Hall of Fame. Each spring, the voting committee will meet to determine the next year's class. Individuals may be nominated as an athlete, a coach, a contributor, or as a legacy selection (an athlete from pre-1960).
A permanent display for the Hall of Fame is set up in the lobby of the CASHS Field House. Anyone interested in making a donation to help pay for that display, or to make a nomination, may send an email to Dayley at trojanhof@gmail.com.
