As a three-sport athlete, JoAnn earned a total of eleven varsity letters – one in volleyball, four in basketball, and six in track and field.

JoAnn played volleyball during her senior year – the first year of the sport – and lettered.

As a point guard on the basketball team, JoAnn was a four-year letter winner and helped the team to a fourth place State Tournament finish during her freshman year.  She was a Big 8 Conference selection twice, a second-team All-Stater as a junior and a first-team All-State member as a senior.

On the track she lettered six times and helped her relay team set a school record in the two-mile relay.

JoAnn went on to play basketball and softball at Augustana College.  While leading her team to two NCC Championships, she was the North Central Conference’s first four-time All-Conference selection, an All-Region and All-American selection. She is also a 1996 inductee in the Augustana College Hall of Fame.
