Wichita State reveals 2027 Hall of Fame class with 5 Shocker legends

The woman who helped launch Wichita State’s bowling dynasty. An Olympic semifinalist. One of the greatest power hitters in Shocker softball history. Those are among the five former Wichita State standouts who will receive the university’s highest athletic honor after being selected for the 2027 Shocker Sports Hall of Fame class, announced Wednesday. The newest inductees are softball star Madison (Perrigan) Duncan, women’s bowling standouts Dasha Kovalova and Vicki Little, and track and field All-Americans Viktors Lacis and Aaron True. They will be formally inducted at halftime of WSU’s Jan. 31 men’s basketball game against UTSA at Koch Arena, following a celebration dinner the previous evening. The class spans nearly five decades of Shocker athletic excellence, with perhaps no better example of that history than Little, a Wichita native who helped lay the foundation for one of the most successful college bowling programs in the country. Little was a member of the 1975 Wichita State women’s bowling team that captured the program’s first national championship. Just two years later, she was back on top of the sport, this time as the head coach who guided the Shockers to the 1977 national title. Those championships were the first two of a

Wichita-area boys soccer owned the Kansas state tournament. Here's what to know

Wichita-area boys soccer made a powerful statement on the state’s biggest stage in 2026, claiming two of Kansas’ three state championships and filling four of the six spots in the title games. Kapaun Mt. Carmel and Rose Hill brought home championship trophies, Maize South and Berean Academy finished as runners-up, and Wichita East added another semifinal appearance to a postseason that showcased the remarkable depth of soccer talent across south-central Kansas. Here are key takeaways: Kapaun Mt. Carmel ended a 29-year championship drought with a 3-1 comeback win over Maize South in the Class 5A final , scoring three unanswered goals after conceding first — something the Crusaders had failed to do all season — to claim their first title since 1997. Longtime Rose Hill coach Jerry Treat retired after a 5-0 win over Berean Academy in the Class 4-1A championship , his fourth title at Rose Hill and fifth overall in a career that began in 1992 and produced 359 victories. Rose Hill senior Brady Liebl, a Creighton commit, and senior defender Caedon Defoor, headed to Truman State for baseball, closed out a friendship that began on youth fields at age 4 , with Liebl breaking the program’s career
