COEUR d’ALENE — Longtime high school and Pac-12 football official Steve Hudson of Coeur d’Alene is one of four members of this year’s class for the Idaho Athletic Hall of Fame, officials announced.

Hudson, former Idaho football coach Chris Tormey, former NFL offensive lineman and Moscow native Doug Riesenberg, and Nancy Monroe, UI’s first female scholarship athlete will be inducted during the 57th Idaho Athletic Hall of Fame Banquet, which is set for Saturday, April 13, at The Coeur d’Alene Resort.

Hudson has officiated basketball and football at the high school and college level for approximately 30 years. He has been a back judge in football for the Pac-12 Conference since 1999.

At the high school level, Hudson has officiated for 30 years and has worked 26 Idaho state championship games in different classifications. He also has officiated in 10 state championship football contests.

Hudson leads the Pac-12 in football seniority as he just finished his 20th season. During that span, he has worked 19 bowl assignments, including two Sugar Bowls, a Fiesta Bowl, an Orange Bowl, and a Rose Bowl. The Fiesta Bowl was a national semifinal game between Clemson and Ohio State in 2016. He also has officiated at the Pac-12 Conference championship game.

Prior to working Pac-12 games, Hudson officiated in the Big Sky Conference.

He is a member of the North Idaho Officials Association Hall of Fame.

Hudson is the fourth generation in his family to run Hudson’s Hamburgers in Coeur d’Alene.

Tormey recently completed his third year as linebackers coach for the B.C. Lions in the Canadian Football League, but made his mark in North Idaho in the late 1990s when he coached Idaho to its first bowl game victory at the NCAA Division I level.

Tormey was UI’s coach from 1995-99 and compiled a 32-23 record during his five years, including an 18-11 league mark. He was 6-5 his first year, which was then UI’s final year in I-AA and helped the team make the transition to the Big West Conference.

Tormey’s best year came in 1998 when he led the Vandals to the Big West Title and a 9-3 record. The season was highlighted by UI’s 42-35 win over Southern Mississippi in the Humanitarian Bowl in Boise. Southern Miss entered the game as a 16-point favorite. The team also defeated Boise State 42-35 in overtime, which remains UI’s last win over the Broncos in football.

Born in Nebraska, Tormey moved to Spokane at an early age and played his high school ball at Gonzaga Prep. He then attended UI to play football and was an all-Big Sky performer at defensive end in 1976 and then at linebacker in 1977.

After a brief training camp experience with the Washington Redskins, Tormey started his coaching career at Gonzaga Prep and then was a graduate assistant at the University of Washington. When Dennis Erickson was named UI’s coach in 1982, he hired Tormey as his defensive line coach.

Tormey spent two years with Erickson and then returned to UW for 11 seasons, coaching tight ends, linebackers and the secondary, and serving as defensive coordinator for the final season.

Tormey returned to Moscow to coach the Vandals for five seasons, and then was named head coach at Nevada, where he was head coach for four years. Tormey then served as an assistant at Washington, Hawaii, Washington State and Wyoming. He spent 2015 with Montreal of the CFL before taking the position with the B.C. Lions.

Riesenberg was a football, basketball and track standout at Moscow High where he graduated in 1983. He received all-state honors as both an offensive and defensive lineman and in basketball. He also was a three-time state champion in the discus.

After being heavily recruited, Riesenberg chose the University of California to continue his football career. He played on the defense for three seasons before he was moved to the offensive line his final year.

The New York Giants selected Riesenberg in the sixth round of the 1987 NFL draft. He spent the next nine years with the Giants as an offensive lineman and started every game he played in the after his rookie season, including the team’s Super Bowl victory over Buffalo in 1991.

He played his final season with Tampa Bay and started all 10 games he played in before a knee injury ended his career. Overall, he played in 145 games and made 132 consecutive starts.

Riesenberg later attended Oregon State and completed his engineering and educational studies in 2005. He served as offensive line coach and taught math at Redwood, Corvallis, and Philomath high schools in Oregon. For nearly a decade, he has been teaching math and serving as offensive line coach at Crescent High in Corvallis.

Monroe (now Westermier) was a four-time AIAW national qualifier for the UI swim team during 1971-75, but this groundbreaking athlete nearly took a different path.

Born in Santa Barbara, Calif., Monroe competed in a variety of swim meets and even set a national freestyle record in high school. However, believing that her swim career was over, she decided to attend Idaho with no intent of competing. However, UI had built a new swim complex for the men’s team in 1971 and was required to field a women’s swim team because of Title IX. Therefore, in the first year of the program, Monroe was one of four women to swim on the team and she even had to buy her own swimsuits. She qualified for and swam at the national meet that year in Cincinnati.

In the summer of 1974, Monroe got married and had planned to quit swimming. However, that fall, UI opened the door for athletic scholarships for women. She was told she could receive one of the four $175 scholarships if she participated in two sports. She played volleyball that year and helped the Vandals to a 21-4 record, which included a win over Washington State. She then competed on the swim team where she was chosen the Vandals’ Most Inspirational Swimmer (she won the award all four years she competed). She held the freestyle and butterfly school records for a number of years.

After graduating, Monroe taught in high school and middle schools in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington for 38 years and coached volleyball and swimming. She was the first volleyball coach at Kendrick High and compiled a 110-14 record with six trips to the state tournament. She also coached track along with her husband, Brent, and produced numerous state champions and team trophies.
