The 2026 SBCC Hall of Fame Induction Celebration put into focus the historic achievements of Addison Seale, Jack Sanford, Kailey Snyder Lecher, Mitch Wishnowsky, Rachelle Visser, and Tim Vom Steeg’s 1996 State Champion men’s soccer team.
Before coaching his alma mater, UC Santa Barbara, to an NCAA Championship, Vom Steeg started the SBCC men’s and women’s soccer programs in 1992, attracting local donors and creating an outlet for the talent-rich Central Coast soccer community.
After four successful seasons, the Vaqueros captured the state championship in 1996 with a 6-0 victory over Palomar College, capping off a 20-2-0 season. The win total was surpassed only by Vom Steeg’s final SBCC team in 1998, which went 21-3-2.
