Longtime football and golf coach Ed Kriwiel, who died in December 2007, will be inducted into the Kansas State High School Activity Association Hall of Fame on Feb. 13.
The induction ceremony will take place at Kapaun Mt. Carmel during halftime of the school's basketball game against Bishop Carroll.
Kriwiel began his City League coaching career at Wichita West and then built a dynasty at Kapaun. He compiled a football record of 297-67-7 at the two schools and won nine state championships at Kapaun between 1970 and 1987. He also coached the boys golf team for 37 years and girls golfers for 10 years at Kapaun. He led the Crusaders to 26 state titles.
Because Feb. 13 will combine a rivalry game, senior night festivities and the Hall of Fame induction, Kapaun is planning on an overflow crowd. Once the gym reaches capacity, spectators will be directed to the KMC Commons, where they can watch the festivities on projection TV for a $3 admission.
Kapaun will reserve a limited number of seats for alumni who played for Kriwiel. Those will be distributed on a first-come first-served basis with a limit of two tickets per alumnus. Those former players seeking reserved seats should contact Kevin Arkin in the development office at karkin@kapaun.org.
