Daniel Huston ’85, posthumous

Huston remains the school record holder in the men’s 3,000-meter steeplechase (9:02.81). He became the college’s first individual All-American in men’s track and field with a third-place steeplechase finish at the 1984 NCAA Division III outdoor meet. He earned all-Iowa Conference honors in cross country three times and was named an Academic All-American in 1984. He later began running marathons as a student at Georgetown University Law School. Huston enters the Hall of Fame posthumously. After completing his law degree, he worked in the Washington, D.C., firm of Reid & Priest. He died Sept. 9, 1994, the victim of fatal gunshot wounds sustained during an attempted carjacking of his vehicle.
