Shelley Keeler Whelan ’92
While at Pomona, Whelan captured NCAA Division III doubles championships three straight years from 1990 to 1992. In 1992 she also won the Division III singles championship and willed the Sagehens to the Division III team title—the first in Pomona-Pitzer history.
Whelan, a multi-time NCAA All-American, was enshrined in the Pomona-Pitzer Hall of Fame in 2002 both individually and as part of the historic 1992 team.
“Shelley always focused on the team rather than herself,” former longtime Sagehens coach Lisa Beckett says. “Nearest and dearest to her is that team championship. Shelley continues to support Pomona in many ways, including offering a summer internship in her family investment office.”
Whelan and her sister manage a multigenerational family office that invests in businesses and real estate in the Pacific Northwest.
