Bio

Outstanding athletic abilities as a student led you to win All-MIAA honors for two years in softball, one year in basketball and one year in volleyball. You also had the distinction of lettering two years each for softball, basketball and volleyball.

Your forte was softball! In 1980 you pitched the first no-hitter game in the history of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association and became a National All-Star Champion in the senior division of the Softball American National tournaments played in San Diego, California, your sophomore year. Your team placed fourth in the nation.

Your pleasant personality and spirited leadership have led you to receive an advanced degree from Western Michigan University in elementary education. You are now an outstanding teacher and coach in Hastings, Michigan and you have enriched the lives of many young people through your coaching of volleyball, softball and basketball at all grade levels.

Because of your outstanding athletic abilities and devotion to Olivet College we welcome you this day, October 3, 1992, into the Olivet College Athletic Hall of Fame.
