Hall of Fame
Jennifer (Dockemeyer) Hogan currently stands in volleyball history as one of two players all-time to earn All-Mid-Continent Conference honors all four years. She was a two-time First Team selection in 1997 and 1999, and earned Second Team accolades in 1996 and 1998.
Hogan also accomplished the rare feat of leading the squad in blocks all four years (one of two players to accomplish that), and led the team in kills her final three seasons (only player to lead that category for three consecutive years). She ranks third all-time in WIU history in kills (1,260), hitting percentage (.264), solo blocks (99), career blocks (406) and second in career block assists (307).
During her career, Hogan set – and still holds – the single-match record of 10 solo blocks against Northeastern Illinois, and her 19 blocks that match are the second-most by a WIU player in a match. She also ranks third in the single-match leaders with 10 block assists versus Kansas City.
After receiving her bachelor’s degree in 2000 in exercise science with an emphasis in fitness, she earned a master’s degree in kinesiology from Illinois State then went and earned an associates degree in nursing at Kankakee Community College. For the last 10 years Jennifer has worked as a registered nurse in Springfield, Missouri. She and her husband Jeromy have four children: Brynn, Mylah, Caleigh and Kyson.
