The greatest women's cross country runner in South Dakota State history is no longer a runner.
Kristin (Asp) Schoffman says her body can't handle running anymore. Instead, she walks, does yoga, rides bike, swims and plays soccer with her 9 1/4-year-old daughter, Bridget.
"(Bridget) enjoys track and soccer. She's a big soccer player," said Schoffman, who lives in Eagan, Minn. "She also does karate. She has the same competitive spirit that I had. It's fun to watch that in her."
Schoffman's competitive spirit was evident early at SDSU. As a freshman in 1981, she won the North Central Conference title and finished third at nationals, helping Coach Scott Underwood's Jackrabbits repeat as NCAA Division II champions. SDSU had a perfect score of 15 at the NCC meet and set a record for low score at nationals (24). Seven of the top 14 runners at nationals were from SDSU: Vicki Coyle (2), Schoffman; Audrey Stavrum (5), Nancy Gieske (7), Lori Bocklund (9), Cindy Sargent (12) and Laura Gleason (14). It was the last time an NCC school won that title. . . . (read more)
