Seattle Public Schools’ (SPS) Athletic Department is prepared to celebrate its second Hall of Fame class next week. The AHoF committee members researched and reviewed 139 years of SPS athletics and selected 14 names. The honorees were chosen because of their athletic prowess and their leadership on and off the field/court.
Seattle City Council president Bruce Harrell, who was an all-Metro League linebacker at Garfield, graduating in 1976, and going on to help lead the University of Washington to a Rose Bowl victory, is one of the 2018 inductees. Olympic skier Debbie Armstrong, who led Garfield to a girls basketball Metro title and also competed in volleyball, tennis and soccer before graduating in 1981, was also selected.
