Milwaukee Athletics

Krueger was an outstanding distance runner at Milwaukee from 1959-63, winning eight letters between cross country and track and field. When he completed his career, he held school records in the mile and two-mile races and the cross country course record at Estabrook Park, where the team held its home matches.

A two-time All-American, Krueger finished second in the steeplechase and fourth in the 6-mile run at the 1963 at the College Division NCAA Track Meet. A scoring member of 1960/1961/1963 WIAC conference championship teams, he ran the fastest 5,000-meter in school history (15:40), broke the Baker Field House mile record (4:28.4) in 1961, set the school record with 4:26.3 mile at Whitewater Invitational in 1961, established a school record in 2-mile run (9:57.3) in 1963, and set the UWM indoor mile record at Central Michigan Quadrangular in 1961.
