FHSU Athletics

A native of Norton, Kansas, Brenda Wolf was a five-time NAIA All-America performer in track and field throwing events, competing just two years at Fort Hays State in 1985 and 1986. She was a four-time All-America performer in the shot put and one-time All-America performer in the discus. She was a two-time national runner-up in the shot put, placing second in 1985 for both the indoor and outdoor seasons. She finished third both indoor and outdoor in 1986. Wolf still owns the Fort Hays State indoor and outdoor shot put records, which have stood for 40 years now. She set the indoor record at 47 feet, 9.5 inches and the outdoor record at 48 feet, 11 inches, both in 1986. She added a fourth-place finish nationally in the discus in 1986. She is the only FHSU women's track and field athlete from the NAIA era who still owns multiple school records. She twice earned NAIA Scholar-Athlete honors and was an NAIA All-Academic selection. Impressively, Wolf still owns the women's shot put records at Colby (Kan.) Community College, where she competed for two years prior to her time at Fort Hays State. Wolf also competed internationally in Taipei, Taiwan, and Germany during her college years.
