Truman State University Athletics

Stacy (Roberts) Schroeder, a native of Columbia, Mo., was a two-time all-America while performing on some of the top track teams in school history from 1988-91. As a freshman, she won her first all-conference award when she finished second in the high jump (5-6.25) at the MIAA outdoor championship. In 1989, she also had a runner-up finish at an MIAA meet, this time in the indoor high jump (5-5). Truman won the indoor conference championships that year for the first time. Schroeder qualified for the NCAA Division II Indoor Championships that season and finished seventh in the high jump (5-5). During her sophomore outdoor season, she once again was runner-up at the conference championships (5-4.5). Schroeder's junior year was her best as a Bulldog. She started by helping the team to a second-straight MIAA indoor title by claiming the crown in the high jump (5-6). She advanced to the NCAA meet for the second time and earned all-America honors with a third-place finish (5-7). The Bulldog track team placed eighth in the nation at that meet, still the best performance for a women's indoor or outdoor track team at Truman. In the spring, she completed a season sweep by winning the MIAA outdoor high jump (5-5), and became an all-America again with a seventh-place (5-5) finish at nationals. The team finished 10th at the NCAA outdoor meet, it's best-ever outdoor showing. As a senior, Schroeder finished second (5-4.25) at the MIAA indoor championships and ninth at the DII meet in the high jump (5-5). She completed her career with a fourth-place (5-2.5) showing in the high jump at the MIAA outdoor meet. After graduation Schroeder received a prestigious NCAA postgraduate scholarship, presented to 10 NCAA student-athletes from all NCAA divisions. She was also Truman's first Missouri finalist for the 1991 NCAA Woman of the Year award. Schroeder still holds the school indoor record in the high jump of 5-8. She graduated from Truman in 1991 with a bachelor of arts degree in business administration/management, and earned a master's degree in sports administration from the University of Missouri in 1993.
