  Heather Kreier, Head Coach

Now in her fourth year as the Pacific Lutheran University track & field head coach, Heather Kreier is eager to develop her Lute squad to greater successes.

During the 2005 indoor track and field season, Kreier was selected USTCCCA Indoor Track West Region Coach of the Year. During the 2005 season, Kreier rallied a freshman women’s hammer thrower to an All-American berth during the NCAA Indoor Track & Field season. She, along with her staff, took four athletes (three men and one woman) to the 2005 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in hurdles, hammer and the decathlon. During her first season as a Lute coach, she helped guide athletes to the following honors: one indoor All-American, one outdoor All-American and one track academic All-American. “My foundation philosophy is simple: seek and expect individual improvement and excellence from student-athletes and the wins will come.”

She has a very impressive high school coaching background in cross country, swimming, and track & field. Prior to coming to PLU, her most recent coaching positions were at Decatur High School in Federal Way, where she was the head coach for boys and girls cross country, boys and girls track & field, and boys swimming, which won the 2003 Washington State 4A team championship. Kreier also brings to her coaching expertise an academic background in exercise physiology, biomechanics, sports nutrition, and health and fitness. She specializes with the middle-distance athletes. She is also the men's and women's cross country head coach at PLU.

Heather earned her B.S. degree in physical education in 1997 from the University of Puget Sound. She is the owner of a health and wellness program called “Fit 4 Life.” Heather and her husband, Bret, live in Spanaway with their two children, Porter, 8, and Amber, 6.
