Patty Gibian, 1984, basketball, volleyball, softball, soccer—Gibian, who lettered in four sports, received one of the highest honors ever bestowed on a Redwood athlete: having a perpetual award, the Patricia Joy Gibian Award, named after her. The award is bestowed on that senior girl who has given the most to her teammates, classmates and community.

In her tenure at Redwood, she was named to the MCAL All League First Team in basketball in 1983, and received the California Interscholastic Federation Exceptional Achievement Award for the same sport in 1982.

After high school, Gibian has won more than 80 gold, silver and bronze metals in the California Police and Fire Games, and 15 medals in the World Police and Fire Games, held in such venues as Calgary, Canada, and Melbourne, Australia. She holds the record for her age group in the half marathon (2001), and has run the grueling 120-mile Baker to Las Vegas relay three times.

Besides her athletic accomplishments, Patty Gibian Monge has become known around Corte Madera and Larkspur as “Officer Patty,” a juvenile law enforcement officer who is involved with issues affecting young people, including drug prevention outreach.

Patty Gibian Monge is currently a resident of Larkspur.
