Hall of Fame
Monmouth College prides itself on providing a transformative educational experience. Tyler Hannam is perhaps the poster example of a transformative athletic experience at Monmouth. He went from barely high jumping 6 feet in high school and not planning to compete in college to clearing nearly 7 feet as a Fighting Scot, along the way earning a national championship in 2010 and a runner-up finish the next year for two of his three All-American honors.
A few months into his freshman year, Hannam met with coach Roger Haynes and decided to compete. Over the next few years, Haynes helped Hannam harness his elite athleticism. While soaring to new personal heights, Hannam cleared 6’11-½ outdoors (his national title-winning jump) and 6’10-¾ indoors to rank first and second, respectively, on Monmouth’s all-time honor roll at the time of his induction.
At the Midwest Conference level, Hannam won three outdoor high jump titles and was a two-time Most Outstanding Performer.
