Liz (Roehrig) Adcock
Class of 2021
Track & Field: 2005-09

The greatest multi-event competitor in school history, Liz (Roehrig) Adcock was a two-time NCAA runner-up in the heptathlon (2008, 2009). She remarkably won seven of eight possible Big Ten titles in the multievents (pentathlon and heptathlon) at the indoor and outdoor conference championships

Adcock contributed to a golden era in women's track and field, helping the Gophers win three straight Big Ten Indoor Championships from 2007-09 and a Big Ten outdoor title in 2006. Buoyed by Adcock's runnerup finish in the heptathlon, Minnesota made a program-best 13th-place finish at the 2008 NCAA Outdoor Championships.

The Chilton, Wis., native remarkably graduated with school records in five different events including the high jump, long jump and heptathlon outdoors and the high jump and pentathlon indoors. A five-time All-American, Adcock was twice named the NCAA Midwest Region Field Athlete of the Year and was voted as the 2008 Big Ten Indoor Field Event Athlete of the Year and the 2008 Outdoor Field Athlete of the Year. Her Big Ten titles in the pentathlon were from 2005-08 and she claimed the heptathlon in 2006, 2007 and 2009.

Adcock set a Big Ten record in the pentathlon in 2008 with a score of 4,218 at the conference championship and posted the best score in 20 years in the heptathlon at the outdoor championships with a score of 5,855 in 2009.
