Five Lady Crusaders and one male athlete earned all-conference honors at the 2008 Heart of America Athletic Conference Meet on April 25-26. The meet was held at Missouri Valley in Marshall.

Women winning all-conference plaudits are senior Kristin (Metzger) Piatt (shot put, discus), sophomore Kim Pasche (400 meter hurdles), junior Whitney Pollard (discus) and junior Taylor Viles (triple jump). Piatt, the defending shot put champion from a year ago, Pasche (400 hurdles) and Viles also won medals, placing second in their respective events. In addition, Piatt’s throw of 41-feet, 2.25-inches meets the standards for a provisional qualification in the shot put for the NAIA National Meet on 22-24 at the Ralph Korte Stadium in St. Louis. Another highlight of the meet for EU was Pasche’s school-record time (1:07.34) in the 400-meter hurdles. It is the third time she has set a new standard in that event this season. Pasche also set a new school record in the pole vault, clearing 9-feet, 2.25 inches.  

Dexter Henderson, a senior, was the only EU male to win all-conference honors. He placed sixth in the pole vault
(11-9.75).
