Patricia Susan "PattiSue" Plumer (born April 27, 1962) is an American former middle-distance and long-distance runner.

After spending her youth in Newport Beach, California, she moved with her father to Ridgway, Colorado, during junior high school.

Her younger sister, Polly Anne Plumer, running in open competition, set the high school mile record at 4:35.24, a mark that lasted for over 30 years.

Her senior year, PattiSue took third place in both the mile (5:10A) and the 2-mile (11:20A) at the Colorado State Meet while running for Montrose High School.

[3] Plumer first came to international attention when she won the bronze medal in the 3000 m at the 1985 IAAF World Indoor Games.

Plumer's successes were interspersed with injuries and setbacks, including a broken leg after being hit by a taxi in Yokohama, Japan, several bouts with pneumonia, food poisoning at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, and a dog bite at the 1991 World Championships in Tokyo.

She has won multiple USATF national titles at 3000 m (1989, 1992 Olympic Trials)[9] and 5000 m (1990, 1991),[10] and was a three-time runner-up in the 1500-m contest.
