Shorter University Athletics

During her four years at Shorter, Ada-Belle Patrick Winthrop-King became well-known for her tremendous athletic ability and leadership.

King was a student council member, student body president, vice president of the Athletic Association and captain of the women's basketball team.

Her commitment to Shorter did not end in 1922, as she became a long time generous supporter of the University. The Winthrop-King Centre, home of Hawks and Lady Hawks basketball, Lady Hawks volleyball and Hawks wrestling, bears her name as she forever has enriched the quality of life and learning at Shorter.
