Tiffany Hogan is in her eighth season as an assistant coach for the Weber State men’s and women’s track and field programs. Hogan, an Olympian, joined the Wildcat program in July 2015 and coaches the sprints, hurdles and jumps for the men’s and women’s teams.
During her time with the Wildcats, she has coached 28 Big Sky Conference champions and 70 all-conference performers. She’s also coached the Wildcats to 18 school records, 15 freshman records and 108 spots on the Weber State all-time top 10 lists.
In the 2022 season, she coached Caleb Whitney to a repeat champion in indoor and outdoor in the multi events. Whitney is the sixth male athlete in Big Sky history to win the decathlon two years in a row and only the fourth to win the heptathlon and decathlon in the same year. Also in 2022, Emily Barnes-Sterzer also set school records in the pentathlon and the heptathlon and moved into second in the 400 meter hurdles. Cyrus Rindlisbacher moved into second all-time in the 60 meter hurdles and Stefanie Aeschlimann moved into second in the triple jump.
In 2021, the Wildcats set several records and won multiple titles. Hogan coached Emily Morgan-King to Big Sky Outdoor titles in the 100 meters and 200 meters. In the process, Morgan-King also set Stewart Stadium record in both events, both of which were more than 25 years old. She also set a Big Sky Conference record in the 100 meters. In outdoor track, Hogan coached athletes to six Big Sky titles at the meet which was held in Ogden. Kate Sorensen won the Big Sky title in the 100 meter hurdles and the 400 meter hurdles, in which she broke a 28-year old Stewart Stadium record.
In addition, Hogan coached Caleb Whitney to the Big Sky title in the decathlon and Xakai Harry to the conference title in the long jump. Harry also set a school record in the event.
All the athletes that won Big Sky titles, also set Weber State and Big Sky top 10 marks.
She also coached two athletes, Sorensen and Tawnie Moore, who qualified for the U.S. Olympic Trials.
In an abbreviated 2020 season, Hogan coached Emily Morgan-King to a Big Sky Conference record in the 200 meters and the fourth fastest time ever in the 60 meters. Morgan-King also broke a stadium record in the 200 meters that was more than 28 years old. With Kate Sorensen's title in the 60 meter hurdles, that's five straight Big Sky titles by Weber State under coach Hogan.
In 2019, she coached Tawnie Moore, Lindsey Johnson, Emily Morgan-King and Kate Sorensen to Big Sky titles. Moore also set a Big Sky record and earned All-America honors in the 100-meter hurdles, becoming the first Weber State athlete to earn All-America honors in the hurdles. Morgan-King and Sorensen also improved their own school records and Sorensen qualified for the NCAA Championships in the 400-meter hurdles. She also recorded the second-fastest time in Big Sky history in the event and Morgan-King had the fourth-fastest time in conference in history in the 100 meters. Moore and Sorensen also broke Stewart Stadium records that were 21 and 22 years old. In indoor track, Starlee Woodbury matched Moore by winning back-to-back Big Sky titles in the 60 meters.
In 2018, she guided Cidnee Davies to Big Sky Freshman of the Year honors and Woodbury to the seventh fastest time in Big Sky history in the 60 meter hurdles. She has also guided Aaliyah Crawford to a Big Sky Conference record in the 200 meters, Alex Reece to a meet record in the 100 meters and the second best time in conference history, and Tawnie Moore to a conference record in the 100 meter hurdles. Moore also became the only back-to-back Big Sky champion in the 60 meter hurdles and ranks second all-time in Big Sky history in the event.
