After beginning her collegiate career at NCAA Division I University of Minnesota, where she earned varsity letters in both women's indoor and outdoor track and field as a freshman, Stephanie Bostwick returned to her home state for her next three competitive seasons to compose a distinguished career while attending UW-Oshkosh.

Bostwick, a Brown Deer High School graduate, was a member of UW-Oshkosh women's track & field teams from 1990-92. She earned a total of six varsity letters for the Titans, competing both indoors and outdoors.

Her career at UW-Oshkosh is one that is decked with individual and team accolades, including four individual national titles, six All-America performances, five individual conference titles and two national team and five conference team championships.

During her first season at UW-Oshkosh, Bostwick helped the Titans to WIAC indoor and outdoor championships and the NCAA Division III national outdoor crown. After receiving All-America status with her fifth-place finish in the shot put at the NCAA Division III Indoor Championship, Bostwick helped the Titans to their first national team title in the sport later that year by finishing first in the shot put at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Championship. She won the first of her four national individual titles with a toss of 47-1.

In 1991, her junior campaign, Bostwick won WIAC indoor and outdoor titles in the shot put to help the Titans sweep both league championship crowns. At the national level, Bostwick finished second in the shot put indoors, while winning the event outdoors to help the Titans repeat as NCAA Division III champion. Her first-place effort in the shot put at the 1991 NCAA Division III Outdoor Championship was 47-1 3/4.

Bostwick's final season at UW-Oshkosh was indeed her best. Competing at the WIAC Championships, Bostwick repeated her first-place performances of the previous season in the indoor and outdoor shot put events and added a first-place finish in the outdoor discus to her resume. Bostwick's titles at the WIAC Outdoor Championship gained her the meet's Outstanding Field Athlete Award, while her labor indoors helped the Titans to the league championship.

Nationally that year, Bostwick won her first indoor shot put title and claimed her third straight outdoor shot put championship. At the NCAA Division III Indoor Championship, Bostwick won the shot put with a toss of 46-1 1/4 to help the Titans finish second in the team standings for the third straight season. Competing at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Championship, her last performance as a member of the Titans, Bostwick won the shot put with a heave of 45-8. The Titans finished second in the team standings at the national outdoor meet that year after placing first the previous two seasons.

Bostwick, a 1994 UW-Oshkosh graduate, lives with her husband and child in Menomonee Falls, where she teaches elementary school physical education classes and serves as an assistant girls track & field coach at a high school in that city.
