GREENCASTLE, Ind. — Kris Huffman has experienced a level of success on the hardwood like few before her.

Earlier this month, Huffman — a former Fort Dodge Senior High standout and graduate — recorded her 600th career coaching win at DePauw University. It took Huffman just 722 games to reach the milestone, making her the fifth-fastest women’s coach to do so.

Huffman and DePauw reached the 600-win mark with a thrilling 45-42 victory against Kenyon on Dec. 1. Only Nancy Fahey, Gary Fifield, Phillip Kahler and Geno Auriemma have reached 600 wins quicker than Huffman.

This past Saturday, the Tigers honored Huffman in more ways than one, downing Oberlin, 66-37, to improve to 6-2 overall and 3-0 in the North Coast Atlantic Conference this year.

DePauw recognized Huffman before the game and put together a post-game celebration in her honor, as well.

Huffman, who is now 601-122 in 26 seasons, has led DePauw to a pair of Div. III national championships in 2007 and 2013.

Since taking over the Tiger program in 1993, Huffman has recorded 25 consecutive seasons of at least 10 wins, including a 34-0 mark in 2012-13. DePauw has had just one losing season under her guidance and has finished first or second in the conference 23 years.

While a Dodger, Huffman led FDSH to a state championship and was named Miss Basketball for her efforts. She continued her career at the University of Northern Iowa, leaving Cedar Falls second on the all-time scoring charts.

Huffman was inducted into the Iowa Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame and the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame. She is the assistant athletic director at DePauw and serves on the NCAA Div. III Women’s Basketball Championship national committee.

Huffman is also in the FDSH athletic Hall of Fame.
