Ronan Hall of Fame introduces members of the Class of 2023, beginning with a profile of Distinguished Community Member Lynn Olsen, known as the voice of Chiefs and Maidens for 28 years. Olsen announced all indoor sports games as well as some football games from 1989-2017.

While probably best known for the spirited commentary provided during his tenure with Ronan High School, Olsen first began announcing Pablo baseball in 1983 and also announced at the Mission Valley Speedway for nearly a decade.

In addition to announcing, Lynn and his wife, Kathy, have a long history of supporting youth sports and activities in the Mission Valley. Olsen began serving as a t-ball coach and umpire when his children were young, and he continues to assist with his grandson’s t-ball and youth soccer teams.
