National Girls & Women in Sports Day - Sunday, 2/17/19
Join us on Sunday, February 17Â as the University of Delaware celebrates National Girls & Women in Sports Day (NGWSD), presented by Christiana Care Health System. NGWSD started in 1987 as a single event in Washington, D.C. to honor Olympic volleyball star Flo Hyman, and has since grown into a nationwide celebration across all 50 states. The day will always be attributed back to the work Hyman did as an athlete and for her work to assure equality for women's sports. NGWSD has become a day to acknowledge the past accomplishments of female athletes and recognizing current sports achievements of women in sports.
