She is also identified as a member on UW-Oshkosh women’s gymnastics teams that captured three WIAC crowns, one NAIA championship and one NCGA title.

Leivian competed for head coach Phyllis Hardt’s Titans from 1986 to 1989 and is still recognized as UW-Oshkosh’s finest female gymnast. The Oshkosh North High School graduate is also considered to be one of the top female gymnasts in the history of both the WIAC and the NAIA.

Leivian made an immediate contribution to the UW-Oshkosh women’s gymnastics program. In 1986, she captured all five event titles to lead the Titans to the WIAC championship. Later that season, Leivian compiled winning scores in the all-around competition, uneven bars and vault to guide the Titans to the NAIA championship. Following first-place scores of 36.65 in the all-around and 9.30 on the uneven bars at the NCAA Division II Championship, Leivian’s inaugural collegiate season ended with an appearance in the all-around competition at the NCAA Division I Championship in Gainesville, Fla.

Leivian’s 1987 season was also impressive. Leivian led UW-Oshkosh to the WIAC title that season by winning event championships in the all-around competition, floor exercise, uneven bars and vault. Competing at the NAIA Championship, Leivian helped the Titans to a third-place finish by winning all five event titles at the meet for the second consecutive year.

Today, Leivian lives in Oshkosh with her husband, Steve, and one son. She is employed as the technology coordinator at the Experimental Aircraft Association in Oshkosh.

With two national and nine conference individual championships to her credit, Debbie Lindemer is recognized as one of the finest female gymnasts in UW-Oshkosh and WIAC history.

Lindemer competed in women's gymnastics at UW-Oshkosh from 1983 to 1986 and established a standard of excellence that also includes leading the Titans to one NAIA and four WIAC team championships.
