Weber State track and field has announced the hiring of Tiffany Lott Hogan as a new assistant coach for the WSU men's and women's teams. Hogan comes to Weber State with an extensive track and field background. She will officially join the Wildcat program on July 1, 2015. She will primarily coach the hurdles and sprints for the Wildcat men's and women's teams.
Hogan is an Olympian, a world record holder, a three-time NCAA Champion and a member of the Utah Sports Hall of Fame. She ran track and field at BYU and won three NCAA titles. In 1997, she broke the NCAA and world record time in the 55 meter hurdles with a time of 7.30 and went on to win the NCAA title. She also won two NCAA Championships in the heptathlon (1997, 1998). She was a 10-time NCAA All-American at BYU and was inducted into the BYU Hall of Fame in 2008.
She competed in the heptathlon at the 2004 Olympics in Athens where she finished 20th overall. She was inducted into the Utah Sports Hall of Fame in 2010.
Hogan comes to Weber State after spending the last nine years coaching track and field in high school. She is currently the head girls coach at Desert Hills High School in St. George. She has helped lead the Desert Hills boys team to two state titles and has coached four state record holders.
She has also worked as a strength coach at BYU and spent one season coaching track at Idaho State.
“I'm really excited for the opportunity to coach at Weber State,” Hogan said. “I've always wanted to coach at the collegiate level and Weber State has a long history of success in track and field. I can't wait to get started.”
Hogan is a native of Leeds, Utah and attended Pine View High School. She graduated from BYU in 1998 with a degree in Recreation Management. She and her husband Brent have three children.
“Having Tiffany join our coaching staff is huge for us,” said WSU Director of Track and Field Dan Walker. “Dan Dean's retirement leaves a huge hole in our staff and in my life but we are really excited to have Tiffany join our staff. She is a fine young coach and getting a native Utahn who is an NCAA Champion and an Olympian really knocks it out of the park for us.”
Hogan will replace Dan Dean who will retire following the 2015 season after seven years as an assistant with the Wildcats. Dean is a former All-American at Weber State and is a member of the WSU Athletics Hall of Fame.
