Suzi Behm proved to be one of the most versatile female athletes to ever wear the red and white at Bellevue Senior High School. That is because she earned 10 varsity letters in the sports of volleyball (3), basketball (3), and track and field (4).

A 1990 graduate of BSHS, Suzi excelled in track and field and eventually earned a track scholarship to Youngstown State University.

In the sport of volleyball, Suzi was a member of the sectional championship team and district runner-up team in 1987. As a junior, Behm helped lead the Lady Redmen to a Northern Ohio League title, sectional championship, district championship, and regional runner-up title. As a senior, she helped the team duplicate those sectional, district, and regional honors.

As a basketball player, Suzi earned three letters, helped her team to the sectional title in 1988-89, and was a co-captain during her senior campaign.

Her bread-and-butter sport was track and field, where Suzi earned four varsity letters for Coach Earl Miller. As a freshman, she was Northern Ohio League runner-up in the shot put.

As a sophomore, she won both the Bellevue Invitational and NOL titles in the shot put, placed second in the shot at the Tiffin Bill Krause Relays, and was third at districts. In addition, she was first in the discus at the Krause Relays, second at the Huron Invite, and second at districts.

Her junior season, Suzi set a new shot put school record at 37-feet, 3 ½-inches, finished first at the Huron and Bellevue Invites, was second at the NOL and district, was third at regionals, and finished 10th overall at the State Meet.

She was co-captain her senior season, was MVP, and scored 192 points for her team. In discus, she was first at the Bellevue Invite and NOL Meet, was second at the Huron Invite and at district, and set a new school record at 122-feet, 11-inches with her toss at the State Meet, where she placed fifth overall. In the shot put event, she was first at the Bellevue Invite, NOL, district, and regional, and placed fifth overall at the State Meet. She set a new NOL record that season at 37-feet, 3 ½-inches, and set a new school record and district record at 38-feet, 1-inch. Then, at the regional meet, she bettered that mark by throwing 38-feet, 3 ¼-inches, a record that still stands today.

Also while at BSHS, Suzi was a representative to the American Legion Girls State, and was a member of the National Honor Society.

At Youngstown State, Suzi was a four-year letter winner in track, was co-captain in 1994 and 1995, and Indoor Season MVP in 1995, and upon her graduation, held the YSU school records for the indoor shot put (42-feet, 11-inches) and indoor weight throw (41-feet, 6-inches).
