Amy (Erickson) Gallagher was the most dominant distance runner in the formative years of Conference USA and was a three-time CoSIDA Academic All-America honoree. Over her career, she was a nine-time Conference USA individual champion in either cross country or track and field and was named to the league's cross country all-decade team in 2005 along with fellow M Club Hall of Famer Brianna Dahm.
The former Amy Erickson was a four-time all-conference performer in cross country, leading the Golden Eagles to 1995 and 1997 C-USA team championships and a runner-up finish in 1996. The Two Rivers, Wisconsin native was the C-USA individual champion at the 1997 meet and earned NCAA All-America honors after a 26th-place finish at that year's NCAA Championship, her third-straight year qualifying for the meet. In indoor track and field, she helped MU to C-USA team titles in 1996 and 1997 and picked up consecutive gold medals in the 5,000-meter run in 1997 and 1998. She also repeated in 1996 and 1997 in the 5k at the C-USA outdoor meet and captured three-straight 10k championships from 1996-98 on her way to an 11th-place finish at the 1997 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in the event.
