Royal Oak Woman Inducted Into Athletic Hall of Fame

Amy L. (Hockman) Schneider, a 1998 chemical engineering graduate, was recently inducted into Trine University’s Athletic Hall of Fame during homecoming festivities. 

Schneider, of Royal Oak, played a significant role in putting the university tennis program on the national radar. As a freshman, she garnered Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player awards. Also in 1995, she was recognized by the Wolverine Hoosier Athletic Conference as an All-Conference player. 

As a captain the following year, Schneider continued to improve upon her success and was again named to the WHAC All-Conference team. She and her doubles partner won the No. 2 Doubles Great Lakes Regional Championship. 

Her junior year she repeated her All-Conference award, participated in Regionals, and qualified for the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics National Tennis Championship in Tulsa, Okla. At nationals she helped her team place 26, the best finish in school history. 

The three-year captain excelled off the court, too. She earned the Dean’s Scholarship in 1994, Dean’s List honors twice in 1997 and the President’s List in spring 1998. Schneider was also a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Gamma Phi Epsilon and the Panhellenic Council. 

She is currently a professional licensed engineer at G2 Consulting Group in metro Detroit.
