Three years ago, the Rutgers track and field team welcomed former national champion Rudy Winkler to the program. After graduating from Cornell and winning an NCAA title in the Hammer Throw the year before, Winkler attended graduate school on the banks while competing for the Scarlet Knights in his last year of collegiate eligibility. He won a Big Ten title in 2018 and eventually graduated with a Master’s of Business and Science with a concentration in Cyber Security.
While he now works at RWJBarnabas as a cyber security analyst, Winkler never stopped competing in the Hammer Throw.
