From Hall of Honor press release dated June 25, 2008:

Pat Williams Clouse is one of the most influential people in the history of women's sports at Wittenberg. After excelling in a number of sports during her undergraduate career at Wittenberg, including field hockey, volleyball, basketball and softball, Clouse coached seven different sports and taught for three years at Tecumseh High School in New Carlisle, Ohio. She returned to her alma mater in 1968 to join the Physical Education Department faculty and to serve as adviser of the Spray Misses, a synchronized swimming program. Clouse went on to serve as the first coach in three different varsity sports: women's swimming and diving (1970), women's lacrosse (1972) and women's golf (2003). She enjoyed her most success in 23 years as head coach for the women's swimming and diving program as her teams never had a losing dual meet record and four individuals earned All-America awards. She coached while teaching thousands of students as an associate professor in what is now known as the Health, Fitness and Sport Department. A native of Aurora, Ohio, Clouse currently resides in South Vienna, Ohio.
