MSU Denver Athletics

A national-team level triathlete and a Division I springboard diver, Breanna Hemming had been told that running wasn't really her strong suit – certainly she was better in biking and swimming in the triathlon. Then she ran her first race as a member of the MSU Denver track & field program.
 
Hemming merely became arguably the best athlete in the history of the MSU Denver women's track & field and cross country programs, with a list of honors and awards from 2013 through 2015 almost too lengthy to put into perspective.
 
Hemming was a six-time track All-American (three events indoors, three outdoors) as well as an All-American in cross country. Among her individual national finishes was third in the outdoor 1500 in 2013, sixth in the indoor mile in 2014, eighth in the indoor mile in 2015 and seventh at cross country nationals in 2013.
 
During the 2013 outdoor season, she was the RMAC's Freshman of the Year, the RMAC Championships' Athlete of the Meet and RMAC champion in the 800 meters and 1500. She won the mile at the RMAC Championships in 2015, and was the RMAC's Academic Athlete of the Year, both indoors and outdoors, in 2015. She was a two-time Academic All-American.

At the time of her induction, she was still the school record holder in the indoor 800 (2:15.61) and mile as well as the outdoor 800 meters (2:11.69) and 1500 (4:25.69).
