Patti Raduenz, Class of 1992

While attending Westosha Central High School, Patti Raduenz participated in softball and girls volleyball. Ms. Raduenz found both individual and team success while competing as a Falcon.

“Patti is a true world class athlete. From her gold medal at the baseball world games to playing professional softball with against the best players in the game, she has made the most of her abilities. What stand out the most for me was her intensity and competitiveness. Whether it was a ground ball drill in practice, a game we were ahead by 10 runs, or the state tournament, she always gave her best effort. I credit her for making me a better coach. I am extremely proud that through all of your success you are still the same humble, classy person you have always been”.  Coach Kris Allison
