The following was printed on Tom Jakubowski's HOF plaque:
Tom Jakubowski became the first NAIA All-American in Siena Heights University track & field history in the spring of 1981. A transfer from Adrian College, Jakubowski placed third in the 60-yard high hurdles at the 16th Annual NAIA Indoor Track & Field National Championships in Kansas City, Mo.
Jakubowski’s All-American performance made him the second NAIA All-American in Siena Heights’ athletic history at the time of his third-place finish in Municipal Auditorium.
“Jake” also has the distinction of being the only Siena Heights University Hall of Fame inductee to earn both NAIA and NCAA All-American honors. He earned NCAA All-American honors with a third-place finish in the 110-meter high hurdles at the 1980 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field National Championships.
In 1979, Jakubowski was the MIAA Champion in the 120-yard hurdles; and followed it up with a conference title in the 120-yard hurdles in 1980 while competing for Adrian College.
Thirty years after his record-breaking and only season running for the Saints, Jakubowski still holds school records in the 110-meter hurdles and 400-yard intermediate hurdles at Siena Heights University.
