Women’s Track & Field, 1987-91
HOF Class of 2000
Rachel Lewis earned All-American track and field honors five times at Minnesota from 1987 to 1991, and her seven appearances in the NCAA Championships tied the school record.
Lewis won the shot put and discus titles at the 1989 and 1900 Drake Relays, and was the NCAA runner-up in indoor shot put and discus in 1990.
A six-time Big Ten champion, Lewis was the first Gopher to win multiple Big Ten championships at the same meet, with shot put and discus titles at the 1990 conference meet. That was her third consecutive Big Ten discus title, and she set team records in both indoor and outdoor shot put events.
