Minnesota State University Moorhead
Basketball/Baseball/Football
1963-65
Jerry Hegna, a native of Granite Falls, Minn., was a dominating all-around athlete during his time at Minnesota State Moorhead. As a Dragon, Hegna was a three sport all-conference selection in basketball, baseball, and football - the last MSU athlete to be honored as such. In addition to this significant accomplishment, Jerry also provided leadership for each sport as team captain. In 1964-65, his strong play on the basketball court helped the Dragons to a 21-4 record and a share of the NIC title. That MSUM team then advanced to the finals of the NCAA Division II Midwest Region Basketball Championships. Along with his exceptional performance on the field of play, Hegna served as an assistant basketball and football coach for the Dragons. He also was presented with the Distinguished Service Award for officiating in the Minnesota State High School League. A MSU Hall of Fame member, Hegna resides in Moorhead, Minn.
