Hadley Wiktor enters her first season as Allegheny College's assistant field hockey coach in the fall of 2025.
A former Division II student-athlete, Wiktor was a three-year starter and team captain at national powerhouse Kutztown University. Over her four seasons, the Golden Bears posted a combined 50-27 overall record and were prominently featured in the national rankings. During her senior year in 2019, Kutztown twice defeated the No. 1-ranked team in the country. That included an overtime victory over West Chester University in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) semifinals, which sent Kutztown to the PSAC championship game for the first time since 1988. The Golden Bears went on to earn just the second NCAA tournament win in program history with a first-round victory over No. 5 Southern New Hampshire University.
Academically, Wiktor was a four-time PSAC Scholar-Athlete, National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) Scholar of Distinction, and NFHCA National Academic Squad selection. The Danville, Pennsylvania, native also received the Division II Athletic Directors Association (D2 ADA) Academic Achievement Award during her sophomore, junior, and senior years.
Wiktor graduated from Kutztown in 2020 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a second bachelor's degree in art history. She went on to spend four years as a studio potter and production manager at Farmhouse Pottery in Woodstock, Vermont. She currently resides in nearby Edinboro, Pennsylvania, where she is working toward a Master of Fine Arts in ceramics at PennWest Edinboro.
