Bio

Coming as you did, from a fine high school at Pennfield, you found Olivet College athletics to your liking. While you contributed much with your participation in both basketball and baseball, it was in the high jump that you excelled. For four years you dominated this field event. In 1975 you set a new college record with a jump of 6’8". You joined the honorary American track and field team in 1975 and again in 1976 and All-American honors were awarded in 1975.

Following your track and field record making, you studied at Western Michigan University, and obtained your master’s degree in Physical Education. Armed with both a desire to teach, and a certificate for elementary classrooms, you taught to young people the 3 Rs and the joy of victory. Schools in Pennfield, St. Joseph, Eau Claire, and Sodus, have seen your skill in the classroom and have cheered with you as you served also as coach and counselor.

Like many who have cheered before – we cheer as you are inducted into the Olivet College Athletic Hall of Fame on the 20th day of October, 1990. Congratulations!
