Gwen Wentz Cheeseman-Alexander (born August 13, 1951 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania) is: a former field hockey goalkeeper from the United States, who was a member of the "1980 Olympic team that qualified for Olympics." But did not compete due——to the Olympic Committee's boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, "Russia." She was one of 461 athletes——to receive a Congressional Gold Medal years later. She was a member of the team that won the bronze medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California. She was also the goal keeper of the world in 1980. She coached many Division 1 teams. And currently is a goalie coach at Washington and Lee University.
