Athletics Hall of Fame
Rudnick led the UW-W cross country team to back-to-back national top twenty finishes. Rudnick earned All-America honors with a thirteenth place finish in the 1994 NCAA III championship as UW-W took eighteenth place in the team standings. One year later Rudnick earned All-America recognition again, placing fifteenth, as the Warhawks finished eighth as a team. He is one of just five UW-W men to earn cross country All-America honors twice. He also placed sixth in the NCAA III Midwest Regional both years, and twenty-ninth as a freshman in 1992. In 1995 he placed second in the WIAC championship, an accomplishment topped by just three runners in school history and his second time among the top ten at the conference meet. When he graduated Rudnick owned the fastest time by a Whitewater runner on UW-W's home course, and he was just the second Warhawk runner to break the 26:00 mark. He also lettered four years in track, adding a twelfth place in the 10,000 meters at the 1995 NCAA III outdoor championship.
Rudnick graduated from Menomonee Falls High School in 1991. A resident of Greenfield, Wisconsin, he is a chief financial officer for Direxion ETFs and Direxion Funds in Milwaukee.
