From Hall of Honor press release dated Dec. 10, 2020:

Dale Pittenger was a standout defensive lineman and thrower for the Tiger football and track and field teams who is described as “the definition of the word teammate.” He earned three letters in football, helping the Tigers to undefeated seasons and OAC titles in 1969 and 1970. He was a key contributor to the 1969 squad that won a national championship, and he went on to claim All-OAC and Lutheran Brotherhood All-America honors in 1971, in addition to the team’s Bill Edwards Golden Helmet Award. Pittenger was just as valuable to the track and field team as he scored in every dual meet during his career. He also scored points in the shot put for the Tigers in the OAC Championships in both 1971 and 1972. A native of Tipp City, Ohio, Pittenger returned to his hometown and has been an educator and coach for decades.
