Monmouth College Athletics

Few track and field athletes in Fighting Scots history have dominated an event like Karen Seeman Hillis. At the time of her induction, Seeman owned the top 10 performances in school history in her main event, the javelin. Since the metric era began, only one other competitor can make a similar claim in an event that has been held each year.

Seeman carried over that dominance to the conference level, winning the javelin all four years to go with three shot put titles (two indoors and one outdoors). Her school record javelin throw of 147’11 came during the 1992 season, when she went on to become one of Monmouth’s first female All-Americans with a third-place finish.

She also placed fifth in the nation as a senior. Through 2007, Seeman also had three of the top seven indoor shot puts in school history and she owned five of the top 10 outdoor marks in that event, including the second-best throw of 43’7.
