Wayne Anderson – Baseball – 1987-88 
 
Wayne Anderson made the most of his two years on Palatine Hill. The Mount Hood Community College transfer earned All-Conference and All-District II honors in each of his two seasons and was named the Northwest Conference Co-MVP and team MVP in 1988. In just two seasons, he belted the eighth-most home runs in program history with 22 and he sits sixth all-time with a .363 career batting average. Anderson was incredibly consistent. He ranks in the top-15 in program history for a single-season in home runs, runs batted in and runs scored and accomplished the feats in both 1987 and 1988.  The outfielder/designated hitter racked up 101 hits, 86 runs scored, 79 RBI and 37 extra-base hits, while playing in 75 of 76 games. Anderson set the then single-season records for games played (38) and runs scored (45) during the 1987 season. That year, Lewis & Clark went 14-1 in conference play and won the NAIA District II Title. 
 
Matt Boyd – Men's Swimming – 1982-85
 
Four decades after graduation, Matt Boyd still ranks as one of the top freestyle swimmers in men's swimming program history. In just two seasons, he posted marks that rank in the top-six in program history in the 200, 500, 1,000 and 1,650 Yard Freestyle. Boyd set the program record in the Mile (1,650 Free) in his final collegiate swim. He placed eighth overall at NAIA Nationals with a time of 16:31.65, to earn Honorable Mention All-American honors in 1985. Over the course of his two seasons (1981-82 and 1984-85), Boyd won five Northwest Conference Titles, earned first place in five races at NAIA Districts and competed in five races at Nationals. As a first year, he won the conference title in the 200 and 500 Yard Free and helped the 400 Medley and 800 Free Relay Teams take first place. He would go on to swim in four events at Nationals, including leading the 800 Free Relay Team to a sixth-place finish. In his final season, he won three events at Districts to help the team place first overall. 
 
Margaret (Dowling) Hathaway – Women's Volleyball and Women's Basketball – 2008-12

Margaret Dowling made the most of her four years in Pamplin Gymnasium. The multi-sport star earned Northwest Conference All-Conference honors five times and was named the L&C Women's Multi-Sport Athlete of the Year in both 2008-09 and 2009-10. As a member of the volleyball program, Hathaway set the school record for career aces (128) and tied the then program record for career kills (1,030). She is the only players in program history to post over 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs (1,020) and she tacked on 215 blocks. The volleyball team posted three winning seasons and finished tied for fourth or better in the conference all four years. Hathaway was a terrific rebounder for the basketball team and ranks tied for fifth all-time for career boards and tied for eighth for rebounds in a single-game (18). Over her four seasons, she racked up 622 points, 718 rebounds, six double-doubles and two triple-doubles. She helped the women's basketball team record three winning seasons, including earning trips to the NCAA Tournament in 2010-11 and 2011-12. 
 
Mari (Kotake) Rayner – Women's Golf – 2001-05 
 
Mari (Kotake) Rayner is the first women's golfer in school history to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. It's no surprise, after Rayner put together one of the best debut seasons in school history. She kicked off her collegiate career by winning the 2001 NWC Fall Classic and added wins in the Spring at the Pacific and Linfield Invitationals. At the NWC Championship, Rayner birdied the 36^th and final hole of the tournament, to win by one stroke (79-83-162) and become the first and only Lewis & Clark women's player to win an NWC Championship. She earned a bid to the 2002 NCAA Championship Tournament and placed 36^th overall. At the conclusion of the year, she was named the NCAA DIII Women's National Freshman of the Year – after posting the 12^th-best scoring average in all of DIII (82.83). Over her final three seasons, Rayner would lead the Pioneers to three-straight second-place finishes in the conference. She finished fourth at the NWC Championship Tournament in both 2003 and 2005. 
 
1997-98 Men's Basketball Team 
 
Led by Hall of Famers Brooks Meek and Whitney Brake, the 1997-98 men's basketball team ranks as one of the top teams in program and school history. They entered the year ranked fourth in the Nation and moved up as high as #3 overall - after a 5-0 start to the year. After finishing tied for second in the conference in the regular season, men's basketball defeated George Fox (91-77) and Pacific Lutheran (79-61), to win the Northwest Conference of Independent Colleges (NCIC) Conference Tournament. They were seeded 10^th at the NAIA Division II Tournament. In the first round, senior Jeff Flowers converted a 3-point play with under 20 seconds to go, to give Lewis & Clark a two-point lead, and they held on to defeat St. Joseph's College of Maine 84-82. Men's Basketball went on to defeat Holy Names College 87-76, before falling to eventual runner-up Oregon Tech (100-89) in the Quarterfinals. The 1997-98 team ranks tied for fourth in program history in overall wins (22-7) and tied for second in conference wins (13-5). They are one of just four men's basketball teams in school history to make it to the third round of a National Tournament. Four starters finished the season averaging double-figures and Meek (1^st Team), Brake (2^nd Team) and Flowers (2^nd Team) all earned spots on the All-Conference Team. Meek and Brake were both named All-Americans and head coach Bob Gaillard was tabbed the NCIC Co-Coach of the Year.
