University of Wisconsin-Stout Athletics

A two-time national runner-up, Dan Doucette set the stage for an up-and-coming Blue Devil track program. After transferring to Stout from Eau Claire where he placed in the top three in the WSUC outdoor meet as a freshman, Doucette went on to win the WSUC 400-outdoor hurdle title in 1986, then defended his title in 1987. Doucette went on to place second at the NCAA Division III outdoor championships that season, then redshirted the following season. Doucette qualified to the national meet again in the 400-hurdles, and took his second runner-up award. Doucette won conference titles in the indoor 200-hurdles in 1989, indoor 220-hurdles in 1987, the outdoor 400-hurdles in 1986 and 1987 and 400-meter run in 1986. Doucette also qualified to the national indoor meet in 1989 in the open 400 and the 55-hurdles. Upon graduation, Doucette held five school records, of which three are still standing - the outdoor 400-hurdles (52.52), and the indoor records of the 55-hurdles (7.71) and 200-hurdles (24.76). Doucette is a packaging engineer at Oscar Mayer Foods in Madison.
