He won seven Heptagonal races and is the first Army runner to win the Heptagonal mile and two-mile runs with his sweep in 1963. He won five titles outdoor, including three successive championships, and two indoors.
Straub earned nine varsity letters, three each in cross country and indoor and outdoor track and field.
