SUNY Brockport senior Rebecca Heuler, a javelin student-athlete on the women's track and field team, was named the 2024 NCAA Division III Women's Outdoor Track & Field National Scholar Field Athlete of the Year in a release by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). Heuler is the first student-athlete in program-history to earn this prestigious distinction from the coaches association.
Heuler, a 4.0 student in the physical education program teacher certification program at Brockport, made history in the women's javelin throw this past Spring. She claimed the national title with her final throw of 47.35 meters at nationals, setting a new outdoor program record for the Golden Eagles.
Heuler's final mark of 47.35m serves as the 16th longest throw in the history of Division III women's javelin. With the win, Heuler became the fourth national champion in women's outdoor program history, the first since Victorie Kothor in 2018.
SUNY Brockport will make its Empire 8 debut as a full-time member institution in 2024-25.
