Regarding his latest career achievement, Schultz remarked, “I’m humbled and honored to be inducted into the Peninsula Sports Hall of Fame with such a distinguished class of athletes, coaches, and administrators. I’m grateful they chose to induct my well-deserving brother world and Olympic wrestling champion, Dave Schultz, as a distinguished member as well.”
