MIDDLETOWN — The Middletown High School Hall of Fame 2008 class of inductees includes a pair of state tennis champions and all-state athletes in football, baseball and track.

Sarah Lanham, Jim Lindsey and Mike Roe are three of the seven new members this year.

Lanham, a 1999 graduate, was a four-year letter winner in track and was a three-time state qualifier in the 100- and 300-meter hurdles. She was named all-state in 1998 and 1999. Lanham was a district and Greater Miami Conference champion as a senior in both hurdle events, and also won the regional title in the 300 hurdles in 1999.

Lanham also played four years of soccer and was a second-team selection in 1997.

Lindsey, a 1957 graduate, was one of the smallest guards to ever player for Middletown. As a senior, he was an All-Greater Ohio League second team All-State selection.

Roe, a 1977 graduate, was a three-year started for the Middies in baseball. He was named to the Greater Miami Conference first team all three years (1975-77) and was named Butler County Player of the year in 1977.
