Head Coach of the Year

Jeff Judkins – Women’s Basketball

Coming off of a tough season, and lacking senior leadership, the Cougars seemed to be entering a rebuilding season. At the beginning of the season it seemed like it to after dropping a game to Southern Utah. Then things turned around. The Cougars have beaten Gonzaga twice and are half a game back in the WCC standings. Barring a bad loss between now and the WCC Tourney, the Cougars should make the NCAA Tournament.

Heather Olmstead – Women’s Volleyball

Olmstead led the Cougars again to an amazing season including having the Cougars ranked as the top team in the nation for 12 straight weeks. Between September 13th and November 2nd BYU went 52-1 in sets. The team lost only two games all season; in the final game of the season against LMU and in the semi finals against Stanford.

Ed Eyestone – Men’s Cross Country and Track

Eyestone led the men’s cross country to a number two ranking that included winning the WCC Championships with a near sweep, finishing second in the nation at the NCAA Championships, but it was also what he did with the track team. Not knowing for being a great track team, he led the Cougars to being ranked all season in both indoor and outdoor track.

Jennifer Rockwell – Women’s Soccer

Similar to Women’s Basketball, the soccer team appeared to be in the rebuilding phase. With only one senior on the roster, the Cougars had very low expectations. This was especially true considering the Cougars were coming off one of their worst seasons in program history the year before. The team surprised everyone though, not only winning a lot of games, but being dominant in WCC play going 7-1 and beating No. 6 ranked Santa Clara to win the WCC Championship and advance to the NCAA Tournament.

Results

Heather Olmstead – Women’s Volleyball: 64%
