Greeny inducted into WIAA Hall
RENTON, Wash. — Washington State volleyball coach Jen Greeny was officially voted into the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association’s Hall of Fame, it was announced.
Greeny, nee Stinson, now a two-time Pac-12 coach of the year who has amassed more than 300 career wins as a collegiate head coach, was a three-sport athlete in high school. An all-state performer in volleyball and track and field (high jump) at Davenport High School, Greeny still owns the Washington state record for career points scored in basketball.
The class will be honored at the Hall’s induction luncheon, which will take place May 3 at the Renton Pavilion Events Center. Tickets go on sale March 3.
“WIAA holds a special place in my heart!,” Greeny said on social media. “Couldn’t have been successful without my teammates and coaches! Loved my time as a Davenport Gorilla and being a part of the State ‘B’, but it’s so much deeper than that!”
