Girls And Women In Sports Day A Success Clearly Canadian by Christian T. Potts '94 Last Sunday, Providence College sponsored a Girls PC Athletes of the Week and Women in Sports Day hee on the campus of PC. A follow up to National Girls and Wbmen in Sports Day, held nationwide in February of this year, the day was put together to encourage girls from fourth to eighth grades to partici­ pate in women's athletics. Put together by seniors Kerri Larkin, Jen Mead and Assistant Athletic Director Patricia Nicol, the day was an opportunity for fourth to eighth grade girls from Rhode Is­ land and Southeastern Massachusetts to come to PC and learn about women's athletics. 80-100 girls attended a day that benefited from great weather. "It was an excellent day" senior hockey player Vicki Movsessian commented, "It's always fun to teach and mo­ tivate younger kids. Women's ice hockey is a sport that doesn't get much exposure in Rhode Island; there was only one girl there who had played hockey before. Olympic ex­ posure has opened up ice hockey to a whole new genera­ tion, and I want to encourage them to participate." Jen Malone ('95), a member of the Lady Friars' bas­ ketball team, was happy with the way the day turned out. "It was a definite success- there was a great turnout. I love working camps and clinics, and this was just a great day overall. Next year, I hope there will be more kids and more sports offered... like swimming, ice hockey on the ice, and track field... I want to be involved next year" Kerri Larkin ('94), who, along with fellow senior Jen Mead, put the whole event together, was pleased with the Caryl Drohan ’95 (Brookfield, Conn.) Bob O'Toole '96 (Newton, Mass.) whole day, saying "it was fantastic. The girls were great, Women's Softball Baseball the coaches were great, the Lady Friar athletes were great- Drohan is coming off one of her The versatile infielder was red-hot everyone involved did a great job.
