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 council decides not to consider resolution banning city-ICE agreements

Wichita City Council members abruptly ended their meeting Tuesday after discussing – and deciding not to consider – a resolution that would bar the city and police from making an agreement with ICE and the federal government to enforce immigration laws. District 1 council member Joseph Shepard said he has been talking with community members and advocates about immigration issues and concerns since February, and many of them have called upon him to introduce a Wichita trust and safety resolution. The resolution would publicly state that the city and the Wichita Police Department will not collaborate with the federal government to enforce federal immigration laws and deportations, also known as ICE’s 287(g) program. The city does not now have a 287(g) agreement, and the Wichita Police Department has previously said it has no intention of entering into one. “My original response to the community was, we have a police chief who has said we will not lock into a 287(g) agreement,” Shepard said at the meeting Tuesday night. “I feel very strongly that having the commitment from the police chief, while means a lot, it is not a policy. … The reality is that roles change, and that policy is
