National Girls and Women in Sports Day - Sunday, Feb. 3
Join us on Sunday, February 3 as the University of Delaware celebrates National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD). NGWSD started in 1987 as a single event in Washington, D.C. to honor Olympic volleyball star Flo Hyman. Since then the day has grown into a nationwide celebration across all 50 states. The day can always be attributed back to the work Hyman did as an athlete and for her work to assure equality for women's sports. Hyman died of Marfan's Syndrome in 1986 while competing in a volleyball tournament in Japan. Since then, NGWSD has become a day to acknowledge the past accomplishments of female athletes and recognizing current sports achievements of women in sports.
