Six Seattle icons join hall of fame

Six Seattle area sports icons make up the class of 2003 for the Puget Sound Sports Hall of Fame: Chip Hanauer, Marv Harshman, Dave Niehaus, Jack Sikma, Frosty Westering and Jim Zorn.

Hanauer raced hydroplanes from 1976 to 1999, retiring one short of Bill Muncey's record 62 victories.

Harshman coached the men's basketball teams at Pacific Lutheran (1945-58), Washington State (1958-71) and Washington (1971-85). With the Huskies, he went 246-146.

Niehaus has been the play-by-play broadcaster for the Mariners since the team was formed in 1977.

Sikma played for the Sonics for nine seasons, beginning in 1977, and was a member of the 1979 NBA championship team.

Westering retired this year after 31 seasons as coach of the Pacific Lutheran football team.

Zorn played quarterback for the Seahawks from 1976 to 1984.

The six men join Hall members Don James, former UW football coach; Steve Largent, former Seahawks receiver; Ed Pepple, Mercer Island High School boys basketball coach; the 2001 Mariners; Edo Vanni, former Seattle Rainier; and Gary Payton, former Sonic.

The six men will be inducted Jan. 23 at a luncheon in Seattle.
