SLIPPERY ROCK — The Slippery Rock Area High School Athletic Hall of Fame swelled its membership to 34 recently.

Football and track standouts Ted Simon and Dan Sommers, football, basketball and track athlete Travis Croll, along with rifle team standout Sue Myers-Haggerty were inducted during a May 7 dinner in the Slippery Rock Middle School cafeteria.

Simon, a 1980 graduate, played football and ran track for the Rockets. He was presented by current SR girls basketball coach John Tabisz.

Simon broke the school shot put and discus record and his shot put mark has lasted 36 years. He was undefeated in the shot put during his senior season and finished second at the PIAA meet.

Simon owned and operated a personal care home in Butler for 16 years and now drives for Butler Area Rural Transit.

Sommers was presented by former Rocket football coach Clyde Conti. A 2004 Slippery Rock graduate, Sommers was a two-time all-conference guard in football and captain of the Rockets’ District 10 championship teams of 2002 and 2003.

He went on to Wooster College, became a two-time All-NCAC center and received the Most Inspirational Senior Award in 2007, as voted by his teammates.

Sommers now works as a High Impact Officer with the Allegheny County Probation Department in Pittsburgh.

Haggerty, a 1970 SR graduate, was a member of the high school rifle team with her brother, Richard Myers, and her sister, Beth Myers. She holds the school record for best individual score and scored a perfect 100 multiple times while leading her team to the 1968 state championship.

She has had three terms — 18 years — as Magisterial District Judge in Saxonburg.

Croll, a 1986 Slippery Rock graduate, was presented by former football coach Joe Walton. He earned three letters in football, three in track and two in basketball.

He was a three-time all-conference football player — as a running back, punter and defensive back — and served as team captain. He won three conference titles and the Fort Pitt Invitational in the pole vault.

Croll served as team captain in track and basketball as well. He graduated No. 2 in his class with a 4.0 grade-point average and went on to become an All-Presidents’ Athletic Conference wide receiver and pole vaulter at Grove City College.

He has been involved with Slippery Rock football and girls basketball for nearly 30 years.
