From Hall of Honor press release dated Sept. 1, 2015:

Kaufman is the most accomplished distance runner in the annals of Wittenberg’s men’s cross country and track & field programs. In cross country, Kaufman was a three-time first-team All-NCAC honoree, including NCAC Runner of the Year recognition after taking the top spot in the 1995 league championship meet. He earned team MVP honors all four years, he served as a team captain as a junior and senior, and Kaufman is one of just three Tigers in program history to earn a berth in the NCAA Division III Championships. In track, Kaufman still holds four school records – two indoor and two outdoor – and he earned a total of seven All-NCAC awards between indoor and outdoor competitions. An All-American in the 3,000-meter steeplechase in 1996, Kaufman was a two-year team captain in track and field and shared team MVP honors as a senior as the Tigers won the first two NCAC indoor titles in program history. A native of Prospect, Ohio, Kaufman currently resides in Chicago, Ill.
