DAVID SHULER

One of the premier distance runners in West Virginia Conference history, David Shuler was an All-American and multi-sport conference champion at West Liberty during the early 1960s before going on to an illustrious business career. Shuler won a staggering 10 West Virginia Conference track and cross country championships during his time on the hilltop.
He earned NAIA All-America honors in 1964 with a Top 10 finish at the 1964 NAIA Cross Country Nationals. Shuler also won a WVIAC swimming championship in swimming with a victory in the Mile Swim at the WVIAC Championships and received an invitation to train for the 1968 U.S. Olympic Pentathlon Team only to have his career cut short by an automobile accident. Shuler's lasting impact was recognized in 1974 with a berth on the WVIAC's All-Time Spring Sports Team.
After graduation, he entered the workforce as a Research Analyst at West Virginia University. After furthering his education with an MBA and PhD, he moved on to management roles at Tata Steel North America and traveled internationally to present technical papers and lend his expertise to numerous organizations. A native of Weirton, W.Va., Shuler was recently inducted into the Weirton City Hall of Fame.
