Matt Schauf named head coach

Krista Jahimiak

MENOMONIE (July 10, 2007) - Matt Schauf has been named as head coach for both the UW-Stout men's and women's cross country programs.

Schauf comes to the Blue Devils after six seasons (2001-06) as the cross country coach for both boys and girls programs at nearby Boyceville High School. A mathematics teacher in the district's middle school, Schauf calculated the Bulldogs' progressive success. Both programs won the school's first-ever boys and girls conference championships in 2002, then repeated again in 2004. The boys team twice qualified to the WIAA state championships, finishing 12th in 2002 and third in 2004. Schauf was named the District 1 Coach of the Year in 2004.

Schauf was also an assistant track coach at Boyceville where he worked with the distance runners from 2002-06. Schauf began his coaching career at Darlington High School where he was an assistant cross country coach.

Schauf left Boyceville in 2007 to pursue a masters degree at UW-Stout in Information Communications Technologies and became an assistant track coach for the Blue Devil men's track team, working with the distance runners.

The Stout men's and women's cross country programs were under the auspices of separate coaches, but when women's cross country coach Joe Harlan was named Stout athetic director this summer, the programs were combined. Former men's cross country coach Josh Buchholtz will oversee both the men's and women's track and field programs.

A native of southwestern Wisconsin and a graduate of UW-Platteville, Schauf looks forward to leaving his imprint on the Stout programs.

"The challenge of coaching both men and women lies in adequately meeting the needs of so many different individuals," Schauf said. "The key is having leadership among both groups. I believe that it is important to focus on the team and then tailor your training to best meet the needs of the individuals you coach.

"We have a very young team, and what I am most concerned with is instilling the values of hard work and commitment, just as coaches Buchholtz and Harlan had."

Schonscheck earns most valuable runner award

David Schonscheck

MENOMONIE (December 5, 2006) - David Schonscheck (Jr, Omro/Winneconne) led the UW-Stout men's cross country team all season and was named the most valuable runner, Blue Devil coach Josh Buchholtz announce recently at the team's annual awards banquet.

Schonscheck had an 80th place finish at the Midwest Regionals and placed 53rd at the WIAC Cross Country Championships. Schonscheck also took home the Lou Klitzke Award. The Klitzke award is named in honor of Lou Klitzke, who started the cross country program at Stout. This award is voted on by the team and the recipient shows all the qualities of a true athlete. Team, leadership, sportsmanship, heart, and dedication all go hand in hand in the sport of cross country where it is man against man, man against time, and man against the elements.

Nate Carey (Fr, Champlin, Minn/Park) was named the rookie of the year, while freshman Joey Merrill (Golden Valley, Minn/Armstrong) received the coach's award. The coach's award is presented to an individual that week in and week out puts it all on the line for his team but does not necessarily receive the recognition they deserve.

Most improved awards went to Jon Golem (Jr, Oshkosh), Justin Verhulst (Fr, Fennimore) and Matt Kennedy (So, Waunakee).

Also recognized as team captains for 2006 were Golem, Schonscheck and Nate Haeny (Sr, Sauk Rapids, Minn).
