Story
Kristen Dutto-Haener begins her first season as an assistant coach for the women volleyball team at Boise State. Kristen will deal with all aspects of the Bronco volleyball program, while handling all of the administrative responsibilities as well.
Dutto-Haener joins the Bronco coaching staff after teaching in the Treasure Valley from 1997-2001. In addition to her teaching responsibilities, Kristen coached the eight-grade girls volleyball team at Eagle middle school from 1999-2000, and the gi15s team at the Boise River Volleyball Club.
Dutto-Haener just so happens to be on the Bronco Wall of Fame. After graduating from Tulare Union High School in 1990, Kristen received a scholarship to Boise State.
Kristen was a four-year starter for the Bronco volleyball program as a middle blocker. Not only was she a Bronco athlete, but also she was also a three-time honoree on the All Big Sky Conference Team (1991, 1992, 1993) and named to the Big Sky All Freshmen Team in 1990. Dutto-Haener was also named to the big region team in 1991 and 1993.
As a two-time conference all-academic honoree, Kristen earned her bachelors degree in health science in 1995. She worked as a coach at her prep alma mater for one year and then served as a graduate assistant to the volleyball program from 1996 through 1997.
She earned her teaching certificate from Boise State in 1998 and is currently working on a master’s degree in instruction and curriculum.
Boise State is thrilled to have her join their staff.
Head coach Sturm said, “She is a Bronco and we are excited to have her here working with our team, she has a lot to offer as she’s ‘been there’ and she has so much to give to the players.”
The Broncos match off in their first game of the season this Friday at Gonzaga University.
