From 2005-09, Zamroz made a name for himself as one of the sharpest shooters in program history.

He ranks fourth in both 3-point field goals made (222) and free throws made (378), as well as seventh in both points (1,862) and 3-point shooting % (.406).

“I’m just thankful,” Zamroz said of being inducted into the TMU Athletics Hall of Honor. “As an athlete it’s nice to be recognized and many of us thrive off of that success. But I was talking with Pastor Harry Walls [about how] Master’s defines success differently.

“What that represents is a group of people who honored the Lord first and foremost, so I’m just humbled by that.”

Zamroz’ on-court success with the Mustangs included twice being named to the All-Golden State Athletic Conference Team while also twice earning NAIA All-American honors, including in 2008 when he was selected as a Second Team All-American.

However, what stands out to Zamroz about his time as a Mustang is the camaraderie with his teammates.

“We were working toward not only excellence on the basketball court, but also trying to grow in our walks with the Lord together, which is a unique thing that we have here,” Zamroz said. “Many of our discussions were theological, talking about what we were learning in our classes and then talking hoops.

“We still challenge each other in the Lord and encourage and admonish each other. That’s a super sweet thing.”

After a stellar TMU Men’s Basketball career, Zamroz went on to play six professional seasons overseas, in five different countries. He has since returned to his alma mater, serving as the director of TMU’s Office of Development.
