Tiffany (Fox) Otte achieved All-America status four times in aiding UW-Oshkosh to three NCAA Division III team championships from 1986-90. Fox was a three-time cross country All-American from 1986-88 and helped UW-Oshkosh win its first two national titles in the sport in 1987 and 1988. She placed sixth individually at the 1987 NCAA Division III Championship, 16th in 1988 and 20th in 1986.

Fox is one of nine runners in the storied history of the UW-Oshkosh women’s cross country program to finish in the top 10 at the NCAA Division III Championship. Fox and teammate Cheryl Niederberger, a 2000 UW-Oshkosh Hall of Fame inductee, became the program’s first top-10 NCAA finishers in 1987.

Fox also was a member of UW-Oshkosh’s first four WIAC women’s cross country championship teams from 1986-89. She helped the Titans claim those titles by recording individual conference finishes of third in 1986, second in both 1987 and 1988 and fifth in 1989. The Markesan High School graduate was named to the 15-member WIAC All-Time Cross Country Team in 2011.

Fox is one of just three UW-Oshkosh runners to place in the top five at four consecutive conference meets. She was the first Titan to accomplish the feat from 1986-89 and was later joined in the exclusive club by 2012 UW-Oshkosh Hall of Fame inductee Tiffany (Speckman) Ebensperger during the 1994-97 seasons and Christy Cazzola from 2008, 2010-12.

On the indoor track, Fox claimed the 5,000-meter run title at the 1988 WIAC Track & Field Championship. She also helped UW-Oshkosh to its first three conference indoor team championships from 1988-90.

Outdoors, Fox was a 1987 All-American in the 3,000-meter run and a redshirt member of the Titans’ 1990 NCAA Division III championship team. Fox’s fourth-place finish in the 3,000-meter run stands as the program’s second-best showing in the event at the national meet.

The 1990 UW-Oshkosh graduate also contributed to three WIAC outdoor team titles from 1988-90. She was a member of the winning 3,200-meter relay team at the 1989 WIAC Championship.

After graduating from UW-Oshkosh, Fox entered the U.S. Army Reserves in the 84th Training Support Brigade and then entered the Wisconsin National Guard as a commissioned Adjutant General Officer in the 32nd Infantry Brigade. She received military training certification as a U.S. Army Master Fitness Trainer.

Fox currently works at Sheboygan Falls High School as an aquatic manager and a cross country and track & field coach. She was previously a business banking associate and an accounting clerk in Sheboygan as well as a bookkeeper, a church library chairperson, treasurer and Sunday school teacher in Sheboygan Falls.

In 1992, Fox married Chuck Otte, a former track & field athlete at UW-Oshkosh. They have two sons, Will and Clark.
