COLCHESTER, Vt. - Saint Michael's College graduate Greg McClallen '64, a four-year member of the Purple Knights' ski team and one of the state's top high school ski coaches for more than four decades, will be inducted into the Vermont Ski and Snowboard Museum (VSSM) Hall of Fame, it was recently announced. McClallen, along with three other skiing legends, will be inducted into the Hall of Fame, based in Stowe, in October.

McClallen was a four-year member of the Saint Michael's ski program, and captained the squad as a junior and senior. Following graduation, he became a teacher at Otter Valley Union High School in Brandon, Vt. in 1966, where he organized the ski team for six seasons. In 1972, McClallen moved to Rutland, Vt., and became an English teacher and ski coach at Rutland High School. While at Rutland, his ski teams won 17 titles, as well as a New England championship in 1976.

McClellan, who retired as a teacher in 2008, also coached high school soccer, cross country, and track and field during his highly-successful career. In all, his teams won 30 state championships. His daughter, Lori, graduated from Saint Michael's in 1993.
