Heather Kreier, Head Coach

Heather Kreier is in her second season as Pacific Lutheran University’s men's and women's cross country head coach.

Heather served the previous two seasons as the assistant cross country coach. She is also PLU's men's and women's track and field head coach.

Kreier came to PLU in 2004 as an assistant track coach, specializing in middle-distance events. She has a very impressive high school coaching background in cross country, swimming, and track & field. 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 (2003 Washington State 4A champions). She brings to her coaching expertise an academic background in exercise physiology, biomechanics, sports nutrition, and she is a health and fitness expert. “My foundation philosophy is simple: seek and expect individual improvement and excellence from student-athletes and the wins will come.”

Kreier earned her B.S. degree in Physical Education from the University of Puget Sound in 1997. She is the owner of a health and wellness program called “Fit 4 Life.” She and her husband, Bret, live in Spanaway with their two children, Porter (9) and Amber (7).
