  Danielle Foxhoven | Women's Soccer | 2008-11
Foxhoven earned Freshman All-America, First Team All-America and Academic All-America honors during her standout career on The Bluff. A key contributor on teams that reached the NCAA quarterfinals twice and the second round twice, she remains one of the most prolific scorers in program history.

Foxhoven ranks fourth all-time at Portland in both career points (139) and goals scored (57), trailing only Pilot legends Christine Sinclair, Tiffeny Milbrett and Shannon Mac Millan. She also recorded 15 game-winning goals, tied for seventh in program history.

She earned Freshman All-America honors and was named the 2008 WCC Freshman of the Year after leading the Pilots with 16 goals and six assists. Foxhoven followed with 25 goals and 12 assists in 2009 while collecting First Team All-America recognition. She was an NSCAA All-West Region selection three times and excelled in the classroom, earning Academic All-America honors in 2009 and 2010.

Following her collegiate career, Foxhoven played five professional seasons, including a return to Portland with the Thorns in 2013, helping the club win the inaugural NWSL Championship. She later spent three seasons with Seattle Reign FC and helped the club reach the 2014 NWSL Championship match.
  Michael Kilburg | Men's Track and Cross Country | 2003-08
Recruited from O'Dea High School in Seattle, Kilburg developed into one of the top distance runners in program history during his five years on The Bluff.

In cross country, he earned NCAA All-West Region honors twice and helped Portland qualify for three NCAA Championships, where the Pilots finished ninth, 14th and 18th nationally. His best regional performance came as a senior in 2007, when he placed fifth at the NCAA West Regional.

The spring of 2008 produced one of the greatest individual track seasons in school history. Kilburg broke the school record in the indoor 5,000 meters with a time of 13:49, qualifying for the NCAA Indoor Championships, where he finished sixth and earned All-America honors.

Two weeks later at the Stanford Invitational, he ran 28:20 in the 10,000 meters to set a University of Portland record that stood for 18 years. The mark still ranks second in program history.

Kilburg capped his career with another NCAA Championships appearance, finishing 12th nationally in the outdoor 10,000 meters.
 
Lauren LaRocco | Women's Track and Cross Country | 2014-19
LaRocco played a pivotal role in elevating Portland women's distance running during the late 2010s, collecting seven All-America honors across cross country and track.

Her 13th-place finish at the 2018 NCAA Cross Country Championships remains the highest finish by a women's runner in program history. She was also a First Team All-American in 2016 after placing 29th nationally.

LaRocco helped lead Portland to two NCAA Championship appearances, including the program's best team finish of 12th place in 2018. That same season, she won the WCC individual cross country title and earned the third of her three First Team All-WCC honors.

Her indoor track accomplishments include All-America honors in the 5,000 meters in both 2017 and 2019. At the 2019 NCAA Championships, she broke the Portland record in the event with a time of 15:33.20.

Outdoors, LaRocco excelled in both the 5,000 and 10,000 meters. As a freshman in 2016, she finished fourth in the 10,000 meters and sixth in the 5,000 meters at the NCAA Championships. Her fourth-place finish ranks among the best in program history. She added another All-America honor in the 10,000 meters in 2018.
  John Moore | Men's Track and Cross Country | 2003-08
Moore is the only runner in University of Portland history to qualify for four NCAA Cross Country Championships and four NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

He earned NCAA All-West Region honors in all four cross country seasons and never finished lower than 10th at the regional championships. His breakthrough national performance came in 2005, when he placed 29th at the NCAA Cross Country Championships to earn All-America recognition.

Moore also qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in four consecutive seasons. As a junior, he set Portland's school record in the 10,000 meters. As a senior, he lowered his personal best to 28:28 at the Stanford Invitational, a mark that still ranks third in program history.

His top NCAA outdoor finish came with a 10th-place All-America performance in the 10,000 meters.

Moore was named the 2004-05 University of Portland Male Athlete of the Year and also earned Academic All-America recognition that year.
  Luis Robles | Men's Soccer | 2003-06
One of the top goalkeepers in program history, Robles remains among Portland's all-time leaders in several career categories. He ranks first in career saves (346), second in saves per game (4.44) and fifth in shutouts (21).

In 2004, Robles led the WCC with 104 saves and seven shutouts, earning the first of three consecutive All-WCC First Team selections. During his senior season in 2006, he opened the year with 288 consecutive scoreless minutes and again led the conference with 93 saves and a 4.89 saves-per-game average. His performance earned him 2006 WCC Defensive Player of the Year honors.

Robles went on to enjoy a distinguished 14-year professional career in Germany and Major League Soccer. He was named MLS Goalkeeper of the Year in 2015 and spent eight seasons with the New York Red Bulls before concluding his playing career with Inter Miami CF in 2020.

He still holds the MLS record for most consecutive regular-season starts, appearing in 183 straight matches for New York. Internationally, Robles earned three caps with the U.S. Men's National Team. He also served on the Executive Board of the MLS Players Association and currently serves as Vice President and General Manager of Sporting for MLS NEXT.
  Sophie Schmidt | Women's Soccer | 2007-10
A legend of Canadian soccer, Schmidt earned NSCAA First Team All-America honors and Soccer America National MVP Team First Team recognition in 2009 before adding Second Team All-America honors in 2010.

She was a First Team All-WCC selection during each of her four seasons on The Bluff and finished her career ranked among Portland's all-time leaders in assists and game-winning goals.

Schmidt played for the Canadian National Team from 2005-23 and helped Canada earn Olympic medals in three of the four Games in which she competed. Canada captured bronze medals in 2012 and 2016 before winning the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics.

She also appeared in five FIFA Women's World Cups and retired from international soccer in 2023 with 226 caps and 20 goals.

Schmidt's professional career continues as she competes in her eighth season with the Houston Dash of the National Women's Soccer League.
  Hannah Troutman Nizich | Volleyball | 2015-17
After transferring from Oregon State ahead of the 2015 season, Troutman helped transform Portland volleyball into a perennial contender during her three years on The Bluff.

She finished her career ranked fourth in program history in kills (1,276), second in kills per set (3.72) and third in attack attempts (4,052). Troutman earned First Team All-WCC honors in both 2016 and 2017, becoming the first player in program history to earn multiple First Team All-WCC selections.

She helped Portland post its first .500 season since 2002 and guided the Pilots to .500-or-better records in each of her three seasons. During her career, Portland recorded notable victories over nationally ranked San Diego and BYU teams.

Troutman totaled 350 kills in 2015 and followed with 440 kills in 2016, which ranked third in the conference. Her senior season was even better as she accumulated 486 kills, 348 digs and 38 total blocks.

By the end of the year, she led the WCC and ranked among the national leaders in both total attacks and attacks per set. Troutman did not miss a single set during her final two seasons as a Pilot.
