About Executive Director Larry Munksgaard:

Munksgaard, a Lincoln resident for some time, is the chairman of the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association Hall of Fame. He also helped create the Lincoln Southeast Hall of Fame, which held its first inductions in January of 2010.  “I really feel strongly that it’s important to recognize the history of sports whatever level it is.”
   Munksgaard brings nearly 20 years of involvement in Nebraska high school sports to the post. He was the athletic director at Lincoln Southeast from 1996 to 2010, and the Hall of Fame honored the Knights for a decade of excellence in the 1990s. While at Lincoln Southeast, Munksgaard was a driving force behind establishing the statewide sportsmanship summit, now in its ninth year, and the Sportsmanship Awards at the boys and girls state basketball tournaments.
   Prior to his tenure at Lincoln Southeast, Munksgaard was athletic director at Cedar Falls High School in Cedar Falls, Iowa, for 15 years.
   Finding the funding necessary to open the Hall of Fame’s Exhibit Hall is the biggest challenge facing Munksgaard and the foundation.
   “Getting the exhibit hall up and operating, that would be without question the No. 1 goal,” Munksgaard said. “The induction ceremony and the selection process have been really well done. … Those things are pretty well established. We need to get the exhibit hall going so people can come and see the people who have been enshrined and the other parts of the Hall of Fame we want to see get going.”
