MILWAUKEE – Three former Milwaukee student-athletes and a standout coach will be inducted into the Bud K. Haidet Milwaukee Athletics Hall of Fame on Friday, December 15. The members of the Class of 2017 include Todd Hill (swimming & diving), Katie Slamka (track and field) and Kyle Zenoni (men's soccer), as well as Kathy Litzau (volleyball coach).
 
Hill had a very distinguished diving career at UWM, competing for the Panthers from 1996 to 2000. He claimed three Midwest Collegiate Conference Championships and was a four-time NCAA Zone qualifier. A team captain as a senior and four-year letterwinner, Hill was named the MCC Diver of the Year in both 1999 and 2000 – winning titles while competing in one-meter (450.30 points) and three-meter (480.25) levels his final season.
 
Hill also began his 15^th season as Milwaukee' diving coach for both men and women this school year. He has earned Horizon League Diving Coach of the Year honors seven times in the past 11 years, with his divers combining for 70 Horizon League Diver of the Week honors while advancing to NCAA Zone Diving competition 20 times.
 
Slamka was a very successful member of the Milwaukee women's track & field team from 2002 through 2006. A 10-time Horizon League champion, she was named the Horizon League Outstanding Performer of the Meet in 2005. Slamka helped lead the Panthers to three Horizon League titles and five runner-up finishes over her indoor/outdoor career, highlighted by a stretch of individual league titles in the 400m hurdles for three years in a row.
 
She broke the league record in the 400m hurdles (1:01.81) in 2004 and the school record in the 60m hurdles (8.91) in 2006. In addition, she graduated with the school mark in the shuttle hurdle relay (59.43) and Top 10 marks in school history in javelin, heptathlon, 100m hurdles and 55m hurdles.
 
The 2005 Horizon League Heptathlon champion was also named Horizon League Academic All-League in both indoor and outdoor seasons in 2006.
 
Zenoni played for the Milwaukee men's soccer team from 2002 through 2005, leading the team to one of its most successful four-year runs in program history. The Panthers went 63-17-10 overall – a .756 winning percentage – including a sparkling 23-3-2 (.857) mark in Horizon League play that resulted in three regular-season titles and one runner-up finish.
 
More impressively, Zenoni not only helped lead the squad to four consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances in his time, but in each campaign the Panthers also advanced to the second round of the postseason.
 
A team captain as a senior, he appeared in 83 career games (seventh all-time), making 59 starts. He tallied 28 points from his spot in the midfield, scoring 10 goals while adding eight assists on 71 career shots. Memorable moments included netting the game-winner to give Milwaukee the Chancellor's Cup against Green Bay in 2003, the second year in a row he had the winner against the Phoenix. Also, his game-winning goal against Oakland in the first round in the 2002 postseason gave the UWM soccer program a 2-1 win – its first-ever victory in the NCAA Tournament.
 
Following his UWM career, Zenoni was selected by the Chicago Storm in the second round of the MISL Draft and played professionally overseas before beginning his coaching career. First hired as an assistant at his alma mater in 2010, which, after a season at Green Bay in 2011, resumed with his return to the Panthers in 2012. He was promoted to associate head coach prior to the 2015 campaign.

Prior to her current role as UWM's Senior Associate Athletic Director and Senior Woman Administrator, Litzau was one of the most successful coaches in Horizon League volleyball history, leading the Panthers from 1993 through 2006.
 
She was a seven-time Horizon League Coach of the Year, guiding Milwaukee to eight regular-season championships and six NCAA Tournament appearances in her career.
 
In 14 seasons on the bench, she racked up 272 wins after taking over a program that won just three matches the year prior to her arrival. Her teams compiled a remarkable 118-14 mark (.894 winning percentage) in Horizon League play over her last 10 seasons, finishing with a 272-152 career record overall (.642).
 
Litzau led UWM to a league title in each of her last four years, with the Panthers winning 20 or more games nine different times over her final 10 seasons. Only two Horizon League teams defeated UWM at the Klotsche Center between 1996 and 2006, with Litzau winning 115 of her final 128 home matches.
 
Her coaching career started with stops with Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan State, following a successful playing career at Notre Dame where she was team captain and MVP as a senior.
