Beloit College

Scott Schleich was a two-sport athlete for the Buccaneers, but broke records as a member of the Track & Field team. Schleich excelled as a high jumper, becoming a four-time conference champion in the high jump at the Midwest Conference Indoor Championships as a freshman and sophomore, and the MWC Outdoor Championships during his freshman and senior campaigns. Schleich saved his best for last, breaking the school and conference record in the event at the 1993 MWC Outdoor Championships, which was one of the final meets of his storied career. His mark of 7-00 (7 feet) still stands at the time of his induction. Schleich also broke the school record in the indoor high jump with a leap of 6-07.625, which still stands as a school record at the time of his induction. On the basketball court, Schleich earned Second Team All-Conference honors during his sophomore and senior seasons, while playing for legendary and fellow Hall of Honor member Bill Knapton. Schleich appeared in 73 career games on the hardwood. A 6-foot-7 forward, Schleich was the team's second-leading scorer as a senior, en route to helping the Bucs win the 1993 MWC Championship and securing a berth in that year's NCAA Division-III Tournament. That same season, Schleich and the Bucs defeated the Russian National Team.
