An NBA Slam-Dunk Contest champion, a four-time Olympic medalist out of Hillcrest High School and the outgoing Dallas ISD superintendent are among the 2022 inductees to DISD’s athletics hall of fame.

That’s Spud Webb, Jerry Heidenreich and Michael Hinojosa, respectively.

Hinojosa, a graduate of Sunset High School whose son was the 2009 valedictorian of Hillcrest, departs from the district after his second stint as superintendent, a total of 13 years.

Here’s what the district says about him:

Hinojosa played baseball and basketball at Sunset High School before graduating in 1975. He began his career as a teacher and a coach at W.H. Adamson High School, where he coached a variety of sports, including basketball. During his two terms as superintendent, Hinojosa guided Dallas ISD from 2005-2011 and again from 2015-2022. Under his leadership, the district experienced significant academic improvement and has been recognized for its innovative policies and programs. He led the historic passage of the largest bond in Texas history, which continues to bring significant improvements to district facilities.

Hillcrest High School graduate Jerry Heidenreich won four medals — two gold, a silver and a bronze — in relays and individual swimming events at the 1972 Olympics in Munich. He also broke world records at those games as part of a relay team that included Mark Spitz.

At Hillcrest, Heidenreich was a two-time state champion and high school All-American.

He died of suicide at age 52 in 2004, about eight months after a stroke that partially paralyzed him.

Heidenreich attended SMU and was named an All-American all four years. He won 18 individual Southwest Conference titles before winning an NCAA championship in the 200-yard freestyle in 1972. Heidenreich qualified for the U.S. Olympic team at the Munich games, and took home two gold medals, one silver and one bronze. He broke five Olympic records and four world records in Munich. Heidenreich was inducted into the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in 1987 and the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1992.

The full list of inductees also includes Spud Webb, the 5-foot-7 former NBA player from Wilmer Hutchins who won Americans’ hearts in 1986 when he won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, the shortest king ever to do it. Watch below.
