TWO OF THE MOST ACCOMPLISHED TEAMS in University history were inducted into the Truman Athletics Hall of Fame this year, as the 1994 and 1995 men’s cross country teams were honored during Hall of Fame Weekend.

Both teams finished third nationally at the NCAA Division II Championships, marking the highest national finishes in program history. The 1994 Bulldogs captured the MIAA championship before advancing to nationals, where they earned the program’s first podium finish. The 1995 team followed by winning the NCAA Great Lakes Regional title and returning to the national podium with another third-place finish.

Together, the teams established Truman as one of the premier Division II cross country programs in the country during the mid-1990s. Led by head coach Ed Schneider, the back-to-back national trophy teams remain one of the defining eras in Bulldog athletics history.
