NAN WHITLEY
Head Coach
Nan Whitley enters her 25th season as coach of the
women’s softball program at Catawba. During seven seasons
of slow pitch softball (1983-89), her teams won 69 percent of
their games (178-79). Whitley, with the assistance of her husband,
Cecil, won five slow-pitch conference or district championships
in the 1980s. In 1990, Catawba and the entire South
Atlantic Conference moved to fast-pitch competition.
In 17 years of fast-pitch competition, the Lady Indians have
posted a 323-423-3 record, including a school-record 41 wins last season. Catawba had
recorded a then school-record 28 wins in 2004 and 2006. Overall, Coach Whitley’s
record stands at 501-502-3.
Over the years, the Whitleys and their players have developed family-like relationships.
The 1987 team stands out more than any other, due to its 39-7 record. The 39
victories stood as the most in a single season for any sport in the history of Catawba
College athletics until 2004.
Whitley hails from Ephrata, Pa., were she enjoyed an outstanding athletic career at
Ephrata Area High School. She came to Catawba and played field hockey and softball.
She graduated in 1974 with a bachelor’s degree in health and physical education.
Whitley served as the Catawba field hockey coach from 1982-2000, posting a 128-163-
13 record and a Deep South Association championship in 1988.
Due to her outstanding accomplishments as a two-sport athlete and coach at
Catawba, Whitley became the first woman inducted into the school’s Sports Hall of
Fame on April 3, 1993.
Nan and Cecil reside in Salisbury. They have a daughter Adrian, an assistant in the
softball program, and a son, Alex.
