Bio

Tom Rath dominated the three jumping events in track in the WSUC in 1964-67. In his freshman season, he won the triple jump in the conference championships and played fourth in the high jump.

In '67 he was the only double winner in the WSUC meet, taking the triple jump and high jump. In '68 he was the only triple winner, taking the triple jump, high jump and setting a conference record in the long jump, which lasted until 1983. In 1970, he repeated his triple honors.

Rath became the first athlete in District 14 to be selected to the All-District track team in three separate events. He was named NAIA All-American in 1970.

Rath’s honors also include setting school records in three events, set the school record for the most points scored in track over four years, set conference records in the long jump and triple jump and was voted most valuable by his teammates twice and co-captain once.

Rath attended Washington High School in Two Rivers and graduated from UW-Oshkosh in 1970.
