ELK MOUND, Wis. (AP) — A longtime high school coach in Wisconsin has been added to the National High School Athletic Coaches Association Hall of Fame.

Dan Pedersen told the Leader-Telegram that the prestigious honor is “beyond humbling.” Pedersen spent almost 40 years coaching football, basketball and track at Elk Mound High School. He retired after the 2012 football season.

“This is a tribute to the school district and all the coaches and players I’ve worked with,” he said. “This is a legacy of Elk Mound, and I’m just proud to be a part of it.”
