West Bloomfield Native Earns Spot in Kalamazoo College Hall of Fame
Julie Redner was a member of the college's varsity swim team for three years.
West Bloomfield High alum Julie Redner was inducted on Friday into the Kalamazoo College Athletic Hall of Fame.
The 1981 Kalamazoo graduate was a member of the school's varsity swim team for three years, earning a number of Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) titles. According to the ceremony program, "She was drawn to K because of its size and its academic reputation."
Redner was the first woman swimmer from Kalamazoo and from the MIAA to achieve Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) All-American status. An MIAA champion in breast stroke events, she was named the team’s most valuable player and its co-captain, and was a member of the MIAA championship teams in 1978 and 1979.
