Hall of Fame

Ames High Athletics has a rich tradition of excellence on and off the field. 164 former student-athletes, 30 former coaches, and a handful of special contributors line the list of people that have made an outstanding impact on the history of the Little Cyclones’ Championship Tradition.

The Ames High Athletics Hall of Fame selection committee is an 15-person panel consisting of former athletic directors, coaches, and community members that meets annually to determine the new list of inductees to be honored for their contributions to the athletics program.

Below are the members of the Ames High Athletics Hall of Fame, sorted by athletes, coaches, and contributors.
