When hearing "Husky softball", only one name comes to mind- Heather Tarr. A four-year letter-winner while a student at Washington, Tarr was a part of Washington's first Women's College World Series team, taking second in the nation in 1996. Tarr also helped the Huskies take third in the country in 1997 and was an undergraduate assistant coach for Washington's 1998 third-place team. In her playing career, Tarr made three Pac-12 All-Academic teams and three All-Pac-12 teams.

A native of Redmond, Washington, Tarr returned to the Huskies as the head coach in 2005 and has gone on to become the winningest coach of any sport in Washington history with a 532-215-1 record over her 14 seasons. Tarr led the Huskies to a national championship in 2009, the program's first, and has coached 24 All-Americans, including two-time USA Softball Player of the Year Danielle Lawrie. She has been a part of 19 of Washington's 26 seasons of softball as either a player or coach. read more...
