Inductees include hockey player Jason Deitsch, football player Joe Masciopinto, men's track and field/cross country athlete Colin McKean, women's basketball player Julie (Schill) Schramka and men's soccer player Adam Winters.

Masciopinto, a 2004 graduate, was a first-team All-America choice in 2003, the season when St. Norbert set a school record with 11 wins. A two-time first-team All-Midwest Conference honoree at both defensive back and kick returner, Masciopinto owns the St. Norbert records for career punt returns (106) and punt return yards (1,185). He was twice named the St. Norbert most valuable player.

McKean, a 2005 graduate, was a six-time All-American in track and field. He won the NCAA Division III national championship in the indoor 800-meter run in 2004.

McKean is also a six-time Midwest Conference champion and currently holds four St. Norbert school records.

Schramka, a 2001 graduate, was a two-time first-team All-Midwest Conference selection her junior and senior seasons.

Schramka still holds St. Norbert records for career 3-pointers (143) and season (56).

Winters, a 2004 graduate, was the Midwest Conference Player of the Year and a first-team CoSIDA Academic All-America selection in 2003.
