In his third season as the commander of the Lincoln Christian
volleyball program, Farr guided his squad to its second consecutive
NCCAA Division II tournament runner-up showing in 2009, with a final
overall record of 29-7. The Red Lions rolled through the
tournament's pool play and swept Grace University in the semifinals
before suffering a heartbreaking 3-2 loss to Clearwater Christian
College in the championship bout.
Farr, who began as an assistant with the program in 2000 before
taking the reins in 2007, mentored 2009 Co-NCCAA Player of the Year
Megan Callahan, while also having three other student-athletes earn
spots on the NCCAA All-America teams. He has directed the Red Lions
to a 64-35 record in his three years as head coach.
Since Farr came aboard the LCU program, the Red Lions have earned
four NCCAA Division II tournament runner-up finishes (2004, 2006,
2008, 2009) and captured the championship crown in 2003. In
addition, LCU has now made 14 consecutive trips to the national
tournament.
Herron serves as both the men's and women's first assistant
volleyball coach at Northland International. Involved in coaching
for the past 16 years, she helped the Pioneers to a 21-11 record and
a 10th-place ranking in the NCCAA Division II team standings in
2009. In addition, three of Herron's players were named NCCAA
Scholar Athletes.
The American Volleyball Coaches Association will formally present
both coaches their awards at the 2009 Jostens Coaches Honors
Luncheon in Tampa, Fla., on Dec. 17. The luncheon is in conjunction
with the organization's annual convention.
