A native of Dubuque and a product of Wahlert Catholic High School, Savary was the first student-athlete recruited and signed by Clarke's baseball program. Savary batted a team-high .427 with a .710 slugging percentage in his final season and was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the Major League Baseball June amateur draft following his graduation.

A two-time MVP, Savary earned Midwest Classic Conference All-Conference and NAIA All-District 15 honors in 1994.

Savary was cited as an NAIA Scholar-Athlete in 1994.

Thate, of Minneapolis, Minn., was a member of Clarke's soccer program and many of her school marks still stand today. She helped lead the Crusaders to NIIC championships in 1998 and 2001.

A four-time All-Conference selection, Thate still ranks as Clarke's all-time leader in goals (56), goals per game (.88), assists (23), points (135), points per game (2.11), shots (263) and shots per game (4.11).

In the final home game of his collegiate career, Warner scored a school-record 52 points to lead Clarke to an 89-82 double-overtime win over Rockford College. He scored 15 of the Crusaders' 17 points in the second overtime. His 52-point outburst was an NCAA Division III best that winter and still ranks as Clarke' single-game scoring record.

Warner finished his career at Clarke's second all-time leading scorer with 1,685 points. He currently ranks third on the all-time scoring chart.
