Hacker and Kreier Receive Indoor West Region Honors

A pair of Lutes picked up West Region honors yesterday when the United States Track and Field Cross Country Coaches Association announced the All-Region team. Junior Taylor Hacker was named west region field athlete of the year and head coach Heather Kreier was named west region coach of the year.

Hacker, a junior from Gig Harbor, had a short but successful indoor season. In three meets Hacker threw over 50 feet in the weight throw, topped by a 51-3½ effort at the Husky Classic in Seattle. Hacker’s season best throw hit the provisional mark for the NCAA Division III national meet and ranks her 24th nationally. Along with her success indoors Hacker is very competitive in the outdoor season as well. She competed in the hammer throw at last spring’s NCAA Outdoor Championships.

For fourth-year head coach Heather Kreier this was the second time she’s received west region coach of the year honors, the other being in 2005 when Kreier coached Megan Wochnick to All-American honors in the weight throw. This season there were a handful of notable performances on the women’s team, highlighted by Hacker in the weight throw.
