Sherrie Geiger will be inducted into the University of Idaho Athletics Hall of Fame Sept. 12. The 51-year-old from Camas earned a national championship for the Vandals in 1982, was named Mountain West Conference NCAA Track and Field Athlete of the Year in 1983, and competed in the 1984 Olympic Trials.

Pushed by four brothers growing up, Sherrie Geiger would always try to beat them in a race.

“I remember those walks at night with my dad and my brothers. The last 10 blocks would always become a race,” she said. “I think from that, I’ve always enjoyed running, chasing after somebody and beating them.”
