Hall of Fame
After a brilliant sophomore campaign in 1963 where he captured an individual MAC cross country title and went on to earn All-America honors with a seventh-place finish at the NCAA Championships, Schramm was hindered by mononucleosis and a series of other illnesses that took him out of running for two years. His return was nothing short of inspiring as he again won the MAC individual cross country crown in 1966 and helped set varsity records in the four-mile and distance medley relays in outdoor track in 1967 and the distance medley in indoor track earlier that season.
Prior to competing at the varsity level, Schramm won the MAC freshman cross country meet and was the American freshman record holder for the two-mile run. He lettered twice in cross country and twice in track for the Red and White. Schramm is being inducted posthumously.
