Schul is also the second Olympic Gold Medal winner to be inducted into the Miami Hall of Fame.
He became the first American to capture the 5,000 meters in the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo in the time of 13:48.8. Muliken, who was inducted two years ago, won the 200-meter breaststroke in the 1960 Olympics in Rome. At one time Schul held five American and NCAA records in the two-mile, three-mile and 5,000-meter events. His two-mile time of 8:26.4 was a world record at the time.
In the 1964 Mid-American Conference track championships he captured both the mile and three-mile runs. Schul also won the National AAU title in the 5,000 meters in 1964. Schul still holds three Miami track records: Mile (3:59.1), Two Miles (8:47.3) and Three Miles (13:15.6).
He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1973.
