Geri Woessner was a three-sport standout at Wittenberg University, earning accolades while representing the Tigers on the soccer pitch, the basketball court, and in some of the most challenging events in the sport of track and field. In soccer, Woessner tied the school record with 18 goals in her inaugural collegiate campaign (2000) and she still ranks second in career points (94) and goals (38), despite missing half of her junior season due to injury. She earned All-North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) honors all four years in soccer, including three first-team awards, and she was selected NCAC Newcomer of the Year in 2000. In basketball, Woessner was a rugged forward in her three seasons on the floor (she missed her junior season due to injury), and she was a starter and team captain en route to earning Honorable Mention All-NCAC honors in 2004. In track, Woessner was a four-year letterwinner who excelled in the heptathlon. The school record-holder in both the javelin and heptathlon, Woessner earned a total of 12 All-NCAC awards for outdoor track, including five at the 2002 meet alone. She was named the NCAC Outdoor Field Events MVP in both 2001 and 2002, and she advanced to the NCAA Division III Outdoor Championships in 2004, placing in the top 20 nationally in both the javelin and heptathlon. A native of Dayton, Ohio, Woessner currently resides in Colorado Springs, Colo.
