Becky Hoddevik-Callahan (Softball: 1990-1993)
One of the most dominant pitchers in program history, Hoddevik-Callahan propelled the Lutes to four straight conference titles along with winning the 1992 NAIA National Championship. 
 
A four-time All-Conference selection, Hoddevik-Callahan made an immediate impact as a first-year in 1990, winning a then school record 29 games inside the circle and leading PLU to the NAIA title game. Hoddevik-Callahan became just the third Lute to toss a no-hitter, leaving Georgia College hitless and striking out 11 in a 6-0 victory to open up the NAIA National Tournament.
 
Hoddevik-Callahan was simply dominant during the 1992 NAIA National Tournament, allowing just 23 hits and striking out 32 in 33 innings of work, helping the Lutes go 5-0 to secure the program’s second national title. Hoddevik-Callahan’s Herculean efforts earned her NAIA National Tournament MVP honors while also earning All-District accolades. Her senior season culminated with the Lutes finishing fifth at nationals in 1993 while Hoddevik-Callahan closed the season as a First Team All-American. 
 
While on campus the Lutes were an amazing 144-39, winning almost 80 percent of their games.

Jon Kral (Football: 1985-1988)
A two-time NAIA All-American at defensive end, Kral was a menace for opposing quarterbacks, recording 34 sacks and 225 tackles in his decorated career. Kral helped the Lutes compile a 36-7-2 record on the gridiron over his four-year career, winning the 1987 NAIA Division II National Championship and making four trips to the national playoffs. 
 
Kral was the Freshman MVP in 1985 as the Lutes advanced to the NAIA title game. The following season he was First Team Little All-Northwest and Second Team All-Columbia League North. During the 1987 national championship winning season, Kral was a Second Team All-American, First Team Little All-Northwest, and First Team All-Columbia League North. He capped his career with a laundry list of awards as a senior including First Team All-American, CFA Mount Rainier League Defensive MVP, First Team Little All-Northwest, All-CFA Rainier League, Football News Gazette NAIA Division II Defensive Player of the Year, and was an NAIA Scholar Athlete. 
 
His dominance has stood the test of time, still ranking third all-time in career sacks and eighth all-time in career tackles. 

Geoff Loomis (Baseball Head Coach: 2003-2015)
Loomis made an immediate and lasting impact on the PLU baseball program, racking up 325 wins in 13 years as Head Coach of the program from 2003-2015. A three-time Northwest Conference Coach of the Year, Loomis piloted the Lutes to conference titles in 2007, 2009, and 2015 while making appearances at the NCAA Division III Tournament in both 2007 and 2015. 
 
Prior to his arrival, the school single season record for wins was 26. That mark was eclipsed four times under his tenure, including a record setting 2007 campaign that saw the Lutes win 35 games and advance to the NCAA West Region Championship Game. 11 of his 13 seasons saw the Lutes win at least 20 games, including four seasons of at least 30 wins. Under Loomis, the Lutes set 10 team single season records, including runs, hits, doubles, home runs, RBIs, batting average, total bases, slugging percentage, earned run average, and wins. 
 
Brody Loy (Football: 1989-1992)
One of the most feared cornerbacks in PLU history, Loy finished his career as an Honorable Mention NAIA All-American, racking up 21 interceptions and 20 pass breakups. Loy’s name still remains etched in the record books with his 21 interceptions remaining a PLU school record.
 
Loy was a First Team Little All-Northwest and a Second Team Columbia Football Association Mount Rainier League selection as a junior, guiding the Lutes to the national title game. His eight interceptions during the 1991 campaign led the CFA. The following season, Loy was an Honorable Mention All-American, First Team Little All-Northwest, and First Team CFA Mount Rainier League. 
 
His time on the gridiron saw the Lutes make three appearances in the NAIA playoffs while compiling an impressive 35-6-1 record during that stretch. 
 
Corie Krueger Roberts (Track & Field and Soccer: 1993-1997)
A multi-sport athlete and a national champion, Roberts finished her decorated career as a two-time All-American. Roberts had her breakthrough in 1996, winning the hammer throw at the district championships and finishing the season third in the event at the NAIA Championships to earn All-American honors and help the Lutes finish seventh overall as a team. 
 
The 1997 season saw Roberts win the NCIC title in the hammer throw. A few weeks later, Roberts uncorked a throw of 171 feet, 7 inches in her first throw at the NAIA Championships. That toss set an NAIA meet record and was more than enough to win the national title to close out her track & field career. That mark continued to stand the test of time, remaining a PLU record until the 2009 season and still sitting second on the Lutes’ all-time performance list.
 
Beyond her success in the hammer circle, Roberts was a four-year letterwinner and a two-time NAIA All-American Scholar Athlete on the soccer pitch and earned one letter on the basketball team. 
 
Jenni Krueger Sipe (Track & Field and Soccer: 1993-1998)
One of the most versatile athletes in school history, Sipe finished her outstanding career as an All-American in three different events. Sipe won the NCIC Championship in the triple jump in 1995, helping the Lutes win the team title. The following season, Sipe won the NCIC title in the hammer throw and finished runner-up at the NAIA Championships in the hammer, earning All-American honors and helping PLU finish seventh in the team standings.
 
Sipe was unstoppable at the 1997 NCIC Championships, winning NCIC Female Athlete of the Meet after winning the heptathlon and 4x100-meter relay while finishing in the top five in three additional events. The season culminated with Sipe finishing third at the NAIA Championships in the hammer throw while finishing fifth in the heptathlon and 4x100-meter relay to earn All-American honors in all three events. Sipe closed her career in 1998 with another NCIC title in the heptathlon and 4x100-meter relay before netting her fifth All-American certificate at the national meet, with a sixth place finish in the heptathlon. 
 
Sipe was more than just a dominant track & field athlete, also earning four letters on the soccer team and one as a member of the basketball squad.
