CROOKSTON HIGH SCHOOL GRAD J.J. SCHEVING TO BE INDUCTED INTO UND ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME

Crookston High School graduate and former UND Baseball player J.J. Scheving will be inducted into the University of North Dakota Athletic Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame Class of 2022 was announced Tuesday, May 31, and will be honored on Friday, September 30 at the Alerus Center.

J.J. Scheving played for UND from 2000 to 2004 and is one of the most dominant pitchers to ever put on a baseball uniform at North Dakota. The Crookston native spent five seasons on the mound for the Fighting Sioux, etching his name in the record books.  

He is the program’s single-season record holder for wins, complete games, shutouts, strikeouts, and saves while also sitting atop the record book for career wins and strikeouts.  

Scheving was a two-time All-NCC selection in 2000 and 2004, with the latter going down as one of the best seasons by a pitcher in the league’s history.  

In 2004, Scheving finished with a school-record nine wins, three shutouts, eight complete games, seven saves, and 104 strikeouts. The 104 strikeouts are the second-most in NCC history and earned him the league’s most valuable pitcher award that season. He became the program’s second All-America selection as a senior, earning third-team honors while also becoming only the second player in program history to be named the NCAA DII All-Central Region Pitcher of the Year in 2004.  

Scheving played two seasons of professional baseball with the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks and Joliet Jackhammers.  

Other UND Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2022 members are –
Sheri (Langendoerfer) Bottelberghe (swimming and diving), Curtis Murphy (Hockey), Kim (Olund) Scheel (Track), Tim Tibesar (Football), and Travis Tuttle (Basketball).  Teams inducted are the 1989-90 Women’s Swimming and Diving Team, and the 1994 Women’s Cross Country team. 

Jeremy Organ will receive the Tom Clifford Award, while Grand Forks Central Hall of Fame Football Coach Mike Berg and longtime UND supporter Mark Kauk will be recognized as honorary letter winners.
