Sue Getchell All Time Award Winners
The Sue Getchell Award is given annually to that upper-class, female-identified team student-athlete who has demonstrated excellence in both academics and athletics.
Getchell (Class of 1963) was a faculty member in the Department of Physical Education for 29 years. Getchell coached gymnastics, field hockey, women's soccer, softball, and cheerleading. She was a pioneer of the women's athletics programs at the College.
According to Getchell, "The teaching/coaching job that I accepted in 1969 and expected to continue for a 'few years' became my lifetime's work." Over those years, Sue accumulated some wonderful memories and was always inspired by the enthusiasm and talent of the young women she worked with. Her lifetime work has had an impact on innumerable athletes who have since graduated from the College.
