Finishing 25th in 1988, 11th in 1989, 15th in 1990 and third in 1991, Dave Lambert is one of just seven four-time All-Americans in the history of the NCAA Division III Men's Cross Country Championship.

Lambert's run to success also paid dividends for the Titans as they won three NCAA Division III titles from 1988-90 and WIAC championships in 1989 and 1990.

The Oshkosh Lourdes High School graduate also was stellar against his WIAC counterparts as he won the league's individual race in 1991 after finishing third the previous two seasons.

As a distance runner in track & field, Lambert competed from 1989-92. Lambert helped the Titans end a long conference championship drought by winning the WIAC indoor title in 1989 and the WIAC outdoor championship in 1990. At the national level, UW-Oshkosh's highest rankings with Lambert as a team member were a second-place finish at the 1990 NCAA Division III Outdoor Championship and a ninth-place finish at the 1992 NCAA Division III Indoor Championship.

Indoors, Lambert was a three-time NCAA Division III All-American in the 5,000-meter run, with finishes of second in 1992, fourth in 1991 and third in 1990. In the WIAC, Lambert won the 3,000-meter run in 1990 and 1991 and the 5,000-meter run in 1991 and 1992.

Outdoors, Lambert also was a three-time NCAA Division III All-American, with 5,000-meter run finishes of second in 1990 and seventh in 1989. He also placed sixth in the 10,000-meter run in 1992. In the WIAC, Lambert won the 5,000-meter run in 1990 and 1991 and the 10,000-meter run in 1991.

Impressive in the classroom as well as on the track or terrain, Lambert was a frequent mention on the university's Dean's List. In 1992, he was named to the CoSIDA/GTE Academic All-America Team as well as being named as an UW-Oshkosh John Taylor Scholar-Athlete award winner. In addition, Lambert was also named as the WIAC's Men's Cross Country Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 1990 and 1991 and WIAC's Men's Outdoor Track & Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 1992.

After graduating from UW-Oshkosh in 1992, Lambert was hired by Schenck & Associates as a staff accountant and auditor before serving as the corporate accounting supervisor for Bergstrom Automotive. Since 1997, Lambert has been the business unit manager for Miller Electric Manufacturing Company in Appleton.

Lambert currently resides in Winchester with his wife, Laura, who was earlier inducted into UW-Oshkosh's Hall of Fame, and children, Valerie and Mitchell. Lambert and his wife's induction mark the first husband-wife membership in UW-Oshkosh's Athletic Hall of Fame.
