Lynne Diehl (Honorary Inductee)
A longtime coach with over 30 years of experience in four sports, Mrs. Lynne Diehl embodied dedication and Greyhound pride. She was part of many firsts in athletics at Shippensburg, including coaching the first middle school girls basketball, volleyball, and field hockey teams. She moved up to coach the SASHS varsity field hockey team from 1984-2008 (with a hiatus in 1988 for maternity leave), amassing 190 wins, 2 Mid Penn Titles, 7 District III playoff appearances, one District runner-up, and one PIAA berth. She was named Mid Penn Coach of the Year four times, the 2008 Public Opinion and Sentinel Coach of the Year, and was a National Field Hockey Coach of the Year Nominee. She also was an assistant coach in softball, helping guide the Greyhounds to the 2003 District III title and a runner-up finish at both districts and states in 2005. A trailblazer for female sports at Shippensburg High School, Lynne Diehl was a strong mentor and leader for female athletes for over 30 years.
Lauren (Plasterer) Wilder (Class of 2005)
Lauren was a standout athlete at SASHS in both basketball and softball, but she excelled the most in the circle on the softball field. A member of four Mid Penn title teams (2002-2005), a District III Champion (2003), and both a district and state silver medalist (2005), Lauren’s ability and leadership were instrumental during that era of Greyhound success on the diamond. One of the most dominant pitchers in Greyhound history, she had a minuscule career ERA of 0.72. During her senior year, she was lights out in the playoffs, not allowing a single earned run in four district playoff games and striking out a combined 37 batters in four state playoff games. Lauren’s career record on the mound was 45-6. She pitched 270 innings for the Greyhounds, amassing 363 strikeouts. Lauren was awarded the Public Opinion and Carlisle Sentinel Player of the Year honor in 2005 and was also named to the Patriot-News Big 11 team that year.
Eric Chamberlin (Class of 2004)
During his time at SASHS, Eric participated in soccer, basketball, and baseball. While a gifted athlete in all those sports, Eric set records on the soccer field. A four-year letter winner in baseball, Eric pitched and played centerfield for the Greyhounds. With a career batting average over .300, he was a steady force in the lineup for Coach John Barthalow. Eric made an immediate impact as a freshman on the varsity team, leading the team in runs, stolen bases, and home runs in 2001. He was named to the Big 11 All-Underclassmen team in 2002 and was a two-time Mid Penn All-Star. On the soccer pitch, Eric left a legacy that would last for decades. He amassed 135 career points, which was a Greyhound record that stood for 21 years. Eric led the team to a Mid Penn title in 2003 and was named to several soccer all-star teams, including Mid Penn, Public Opinion, and Sentinel first teams. He was selected as a member of the Who’s Who in Sports in 2003, and he was presented with the President’s Education Outstanding Academic Achievement Award in 2004. He also received the prestigious Roy V. Mouer Award his senior year. Tragically, Eric passed away in December 2023 after a courageous battle with cancer. Eric’s family will represent him at the induction ceremony on September 4th.
**The Class of 2026 induction ceremony is Friday, Sept. 4th @ 5 pm in the SASHS cafeteria. Inductees will also be recognized during halftime of the football game that night in the new Greyhound Stadium.
