Hall of Fame
Heath Tagtmeyer graduated from QU in 1995 with a finance degree. His athletic skill set ranged from soccer to baseball to football.
Heath came to QU as a two-sport athlete. He was a two-year starter on the Division I men’s soccer team and was awarded the 1992 rookie of the year.
Heath’s stronger sport was baseball where he played for three seasons. He was a true offensive threat, ending his baseball career with a .352 batting average, 167 hits, 105 runs, 107 RBIs, and 31 stolen bases.
Heath’s offensive power was rivaled by his presence on the mound. Heath did not come to QU as a pitcher, but his passion for the sport and for his team led him to step up to the challenge. Heath exceled as a pitcher. He won 13 games in two years including two shutouts. Heath won eight games in 1995 which was the highest mark of all time, and his 82 innings pitched was the fifth highest of all time.
To top off Heath’s athletic career at QU, Heath started practicing field kicking because the football team needed a kicker. He kicked five extra points in his first game. Two games later, he kicked a school record 48-yard field goal. That record stood for 26 years. The Hawks won the remaining football games that season, and Heath was named to the All-Conference team.
Since graduation, Heath has held various positions in the technology sector, and he earned an Executive MBA from Arizona State’s WP Carey School of Business in 2013.
