Odom Kirkland's NCGA Hall of Fame induction comes after being named to Hamline Athletics Hall of Fame not once, but twice. The first time was 2010, when she was enshrined with the 2000 NCGA National Championship Team. Odom Kirkland was inducted into the HU Hall of Fame as an individual in 2014 after winning the school's first-ever all-around national championship, and NCGA Senior Athlete of the Year in 2000. Odom Kirkland was a three-time All-American, once in the all-around in 2000, and twice on the uneven bars in 1997 and 1998.
Patricia J. Stotzheim '91
Stotzheim led the Pipers to three-straight NCGA National Championship appearances while competing in every event. Following her time as a student-athlete, Stotzheim began coaching at Hamline in 1994-95 as an assistant, and was promoted to head coach thereafter. She mentored 25 NCGA All-Americans, one NCGA National Senior Athlete of the Year, and one individual national champion in the floor throughout her five seasons as head coach. Over Stotzheim's tenure, the Pipers consistently finished in the top four at nationals that included a runner-up standing in 1996, and broke all but one of Hamline's individual records.
