An all-state and academic all-state selection in track for four years, Grube also received the same honors in cross country the last three years. She was a part of the state champion 4x800m relay team in 2001 and 2002. The 2001 team also became high school all-Americans.
Grube ran her top 4K cross country time last year in 14:29. She finished third in the state cross country meet as an individual. Her top 800m run time was 2:18 as a junior. She has also clocked a 300m hurdles time at 48.2.
"She's going to be a huge impact person in this program," Schmidt said. "We are very pleased to have her join this program."
Grube is a member of the National Honor Society and the Outdoors Club. She has also volunteered at the Harbor House domestic abuse shelter and at the Salvation Army along with various other groups she has worked with while in school.
An athlete of the week selection by Appleton Post Crescent, Grube was selected as the student of the month for September 2002 by the Kaukauna Rotary Club. The Kaukauna Elks Club recognized her as one of the top ten students from Kaukauna High School.
Elizabeth Grube is the daughter of Paul and Leigh Grube.
