Pioneering Award

For many years, there was no outlet or venue for women at the university to exhibit their athletic talents in intercollegiate competition. They either competed individually, in intramurals or under "club" auspices. This award honors the accomplishments of outstanding participants during those years, and recognizes the advocacy of women's athletics by coaches and administrators.

Distinguished Alumni Award

This award was created to honor alumni who have made significant accomplishments in athletics once they have earned their degrees from the university. The award is meant to honor those who have excelled in such things as coaching (at any level) as athletic administrators, or as professional or amateur athletes.
