Ziedins, a 2003 graduate, earned the Sid Watson Award -- given to the NCAA Division III Player of the Year -- in 2003. Ziedins, who was a first-team All-America choice in 2002 and 2003, also played in the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy with his native Latvia. Ziedins is second on the St. Norbert career goals scored list with 74 and is third in career scoring with 145 points.

Dreyer, a 2003 graduate, became St. Norbert men's track's first NCAA Division III national champion by winning the outdoor 400 meters in 2001 and 2002. He was a four-time All-American in the outdoor 400, one of only four athletes in Division III history to do so. Dreyer finished as a 10-time All-American overall and also participated in the 2002 U.S. Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

Gritt, a 1992 graduate, earned four letters each in track and cross country and was team captain of both squads her senior year. Gritt earned two Midwest Conference championships in the indoor 800-meter run, and helped the Green Knights to indoor and outdoor MWC titles in 1989, 1990 and 1991. Gritt coached St. Norbert women's cross country to conference championships in 2002 and 2003.

Janssen, a 2001 graduate, was named to the D3football.com All-Decade first team in 2011 after a stellar career at linebacker. Janssen was named Associated Press first-team Little All-America in 2001 and was second team in 2000. He was a first-team All-America choice by the AFCA, D3football.com, Hewlett-Packard and Football Gazette in 2000 and 2001. Janssen was Midwest Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2000 and 2001.
