Northern State Athletics Hall of Fame
Marlene (Calmus) Lorenz is a fixture in the NSU track and field record book. A seven-time NAIA all-American, Lorenz was a national runner-up in both the marathon and the three-mile run as a senior in 1989. She holds the record in the outdoor 5,000 and 10,000 meter runs, as well as the indoor 3,000 and 5,000 meter events. Lorenz was a multiple-time all-conference and all-district award winner in both cross country and track for the Wolves. She earned Northern's Female Athlete of the Year Award in 1989. She graduated that year with a bachelor's in elementary education.
Marlene and her husband, fellow 2001 Hall of Fame inductee Gene Lorenz, are the parents of two children.
