Athletics Hall of Fame
Lynn (Olsen) Krueger earned four letters as a middle hitter on the Warhawk women's volleyball team from 1996-99. Krueger is the only Warhawk in the history of UW-Whitewater athletics to earn three CoSIDA Academic All-America honors during the course of her career. In addition, she was recognized on the Dean's List each of her four years, was a Chancellor Scholar-Athlete, earned the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award in 1999 and received the NCAA Post Graduate Scholarship Award. Her performance on the court is equally impressive. Krueger earned first team All-America honors from the American Volleyball Coaches Association and Successful Farming in 1998 and 1999 after leading her team to a conference title in 1998 and league tournament titles both seasons. In 1997, she was a second team AVCA All-America selection after helping the team to the WIAC regular season and tournament championships. She led the Warhawks to four NCAA Division III tournament berths. During her four-year career as a Warhawk, UW-Whitewater compiled a record of 130-22, a winning percentage of 85.5. On November 6, 1999, she posted 15 blocks against UW-River Falls, a mark that has yet to be surpassed in the history of Warhawks Volleyball. When she graduated, Krueger held the top marks in blocks in a season (202 in 1997) and career blocks (613), a career record that still tops the list. Today, her name is still written in the top 10 in numerous categories in the UW-Whitewater record book, including season attack percentage, season blocks and several career categories, including kills, attempts, attack percentage, aces, digs, blocks, number of matches with double figure kills, number of matches with double figure blocks and number of matches with double figure digs. Krueger earned a degree in accounting in 1999 and is now a corporate controller for Midwest Communications, Inc.Â
