He was an important player for the University of Wyoming and was part of their NIT 1986 runner-up team, 1987 Sweet 16 team, and 1988 Western Athletic Conference Champions team. In the 1988 WAC championship game, Leckner would hit a buzzer beating shot to give Wyoming the win versus Colorado State University on a play that was similar to the one that Christian Laetner is famous from making in Duke's NCAA tournament game versus Kentucky.
