Sandy Holwerda Schlappi
CEDARVILLE, Ohio - Three-sport women's athlete Sandy (Holwerda) Schlappi '75 and men's basketball standout John Krueger '99 were inducted into the Cedarville University Athletic Hall of Fame in festivities during Alumni Weekend.

The two were honored at the Hall of Fame Brunch in the Center for Biblical and Theological Studies.

Schlappi was a four-year participant in volleyball and basketball during her career from 1971 through 1975 and she also played one season of tennis. She was introduced by her basketball coach, Dr. Maryalyce Jeremiah, a charter member of the Hall of Fame.

Schlappi was a member of four volleyball squads that totaled 47 victories in a day when teams routinely played 20 or fewer matches per season. The same could be said for basketball as she was part of 47 wins on the hardwood. She was a member of the Lady Jackets' 1973 OAISW state championship team as well as the 1972 runner-up squad.

John Krueger
Krueger is Cedarville's third all-time leading scorer in men's basketball with 2,236 points tallied during his career from 1995 through 1999. He is one of only three players in Yellow Jacket basketball history to be named an NAIA Division I All-American when he earned third team honors as a senior.

Krueger, who was a two-time NCCAA All-American, was introduced by his head coach, Jeff Reep. Krueger was the NCCAA Midwest Region Player of the Year and the American Mideast Conference Player of the Year.
