Van Zile is new member of UW-Whitewater Athletics Hall of Fame


RAHS alum Travis Van Zile will be inducted into the UW-Whitewater Athletics Hall of Fame on Oct. 24. During his career from 2000-2003, Van Zile helped lead UW-Whitewater Baseball to WIAC championships in 2000, 2001, and 2003, as well as the conference tournament title in 2003. He also contributed to three NCAA Tournament appearances during his career. At the conclusion of his illustrious collegiate career, Van Zile was just the third Warhawk in program history to earn First Team All-WIAC honors all four seasons. He holds the program record for triples in a game with two and ranks among the school's all-time leaders in stolen bases (66) and triples (10). His eight triples in 2003 remain one of the top single-season totals in both school and conference history. Following his stellar collegiate career, Van Zile was selected in the 26th round of the 2003 Major League Baseball Draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks.
