Cheryl Patteson, a native of Silver Springs, Md., was the first individual in MAC history to be named the Outstanding Swimmer at the MAC Championships three times. She earned that honor at each meet from 1993 to '95, and took home the Outstanding Senior Swimmer of the Meet award at the 1996 conference event.

Patteson was the conference champion in the 400 Individual Medley in all four seasons, and won the league title in the 200 Fly and the 200 IM twice each. She captured the 200 Fly as a sophomore and a junior, and won the 200 IM in the other two years. Additionally, Patteson was the 1,650 Freestyle champion as a freshman. She set league records in both IM events as a freshman, and participated at the NCAA Championships in three events (200 IM, 400 IM, and 1650 Free) in 1993 and again in 1996 (200 IM, 400 IM, 200 Breast). Patteson still holds the school records in the 200 IM, 400 IM and 1650 Free.

Cheryl Patteson was inducted to the BGSU Athletic Hall of Fame in 2008.
