The SLIAC is proud to announce it's 2026 Hall of Fame class. This year's class includes Jenny Howard, Amy (Aleshire) Krahenbuhl, and Will Savage.
Jenny Howard was a two-sport standout from Webster University from 2011-14. On the volleyball court Howard led the Gorloks to four consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. A four-time All-Conference performer she finished her career with 918 kills, hitting .296, and averaged 2.78 kills per set; ranking her in the top 10 in program history in each category. Howard also totaled 1,032 digs and 117 blocks. She was named the 2012 SLIAC Player of the Year and also picked up the Newcomer of the Year award and Tournament MVP during her career. Howard was a three-time Academic All-Conference performer and was named CoSIDA Academic All-District as a senior. On the track Howard set school records in the 60-meter dash, at 7.96 seconds, a mark that still stands today. She also broke the 100-meter dash and 200-meter dash records. She was a four-time All-Academic selection in track and field. Howard graduated from Webster in 2015 with a Bachelor's of Science in Biology and was the SLIAC Post-Graduate Scholarship award winner. She went on to attend the University of Missouri for Veterinary school, earning a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine.
Amy (Aleshire) Krahenbuhl was a member of the Principia College women's cross country team from 2003-06. Having no previous competitive running experience, she walked onto the Panthers program and promptly won the 2003 SLIAC Championship with a time of 21:15. That time stands as the best 6K championship time in conference history and the second best overall time in SLIAC history. That same year she took home both the SLIAC Runner of the Year and Newcomer of the Year awards. She went on to place 3rd at the Midwest Regionals that fall, the second-highest finish ever by a SLIAC runner, and earned All-Region honors. She finished 6th at nationals, the highest finish in conference history, and earned All-America status.
Will Savage was a dominant pitcher for the Webster University baseball team from 2007-10. Savage finished his career with a 16-5 record, striking out 151 batters, and finishing with a 3.23 earned-run average. His senior season stands out; going 9-0 on the mound with a 1.52 E.R.A. and 72 strikeouts with three shutouts. Following that year he was named First Team All-American in addition to All-Region and All-Conference. His senior season statistics rank him second in E.R.A., complete games, and shutouts. The Gorloks were 81-9 during his four years on the pitching staff, capturing four SLIAC regular season titles and two championships. He was a two-time All-Conference selection and was a part of three teams that qualified for the NCAA Tournament. Savage graduated from Webster in 2010 with a degree in Broadcast Journalism and he completed a Master's of Library and Information Science from Illinois in 2013.
