Pat Brogden Hall of Fame Introduction Video

Former women's tennis standout Pat Brogden, ’78 was inducted into the Campbell Athletics Hall of Fame on Jan. 18, 2025.  Brogden was named Campbell’s outstanding female athlete following her senior season when she lost only once (due to an injury) in combined singles and doubles play.  Born in Rockingham, she was raised in Goldsboro, where she won multiple city and county tennis titles.  After earning her radiologic technology degree at Johnston Tech, Brogden transferred to Campbell and was Coach Frances Lloyd’s top singles player in each of her three seasons.  She finished third in the 1977 AIAW state tournament and was ranked among the top 10 players in North Carolina in singles and in the top five in mixed doubles.
 
Following graduation, Brogden began a three-decade teaching and coaching career, first at Anne Chesnutt Junior High in Fayetteville, then moved to Carnage GT Magnet middle school in Raleigh before retiring in 2008. 
 
A self-taught, cross-handed, left-handed golfer, over the last 40 years she has won a record seven Carolinas Golf Association North Carolina Senior championships, plus the 2024 NC Super Senior Championship.  Her 18 overall titles stand third all-time in CGA women’s history.  She also has seven NCWGA senior titles, and a record six Eastern U.S. Senior Championships.  In 2021, Brogden won the North & South Super Senior Women’s Championship at Pinehurst.  On top of it all, she is a three-time cancer survivor.
