University of Wisconsin-Stout Athletics

Considered one of the greatest distance men in UW-Stout history, Jeff Wachter was crowned both NAIA champion in the two-mile run and NCAA champion in the 1500 meter run during his senior year in 1984. Wachter continues to hold WSUC records in the mile (4:11.90), the two mile run (8:53.4) and the 5000 meter run (14:22.37). His NCAA title 1500 meter clocking of 3:44.50 endures as the second-fastest championship time ever.
