Bio
Alison (Neuman) Christenson was known as “Candy” Neuman during a brilliant athletic career at UW-Oshkosh, which spanned from 1965-69. Her collegiate career included one season as a member of the tennis and track & field teams, and four years as a member of the swimming, synchronized swimming and sailing teams.
Christenson still holds the UW-Oshkosh record in the 100-meter breaststroke.
The Appleton native received All-America honors at the meet after finishing second to Olympic champion Cynthia Goyette in the 100-meter breaststroke.
Last month at the YMCA National Masters Meet, she established a national record by finishing the 100-meter breaststroke in a time of 1:22.
Christenson, wife of UW-Oshkosh graduate and Waukesha South boys basketball coach Mark Christenson, has taught and coached at schools in Fairfield (Calif.), Sheboygan, Cedarburg and Oshkosh since graduating from UW-Oshkosh in 1969.
