NEW JERSEY CELEBRATES 35TH ANNIVERSARY A VIRTUAL CELEBRATION SPONSORED BY FEBRUARY 3, 2021 7:00 PM On behalf of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association, I would like to congratulate the outstanding high school student-athlete honor award recipients as New Jersey celebrates the National Association of Girls and Women in Sports Day. A special congratulations to all our honorees this year. You have been challenged this year due to the suspension of high school sports caused by the COVID – 19 Pandemic. All of you have shown perseverance and have met every challenge that was put in your path to return to the playing fi elds and the high school sports that you love. It is because of individuals like you that athletics will survive and be stronger in the Post – Pandemic world. You are the role models of today and the pioneers of tomorrow. You should be proud of what you have accomplished yet recognize the responsibilities that lie ahead. Title IX was passed in 1972 with the result of increased opportunities for women and girls in athletics as well as many other arenas. Since Title IX, the number of female student athletes has greatly increased. In past years, the numbers of females participating in NJ high schools was well over 120,000 and back in 1982, the NJSIAA number was 57, 789. The number has increased threefold and continues to grow each year. With the addition of girls wrestling, the NJSIAA sponsors 18 sports and 25 championship events for girls, the most of any state in the country. We are indeed proud of our efforts, and yet our work is not done. Today is a celebration and a call to action to continue to expand opportunities for all girls, for all women, in all arenas. Congratulations and Best Wishes, Al Stumpf NJSIAA Assistant Director Note: A special thanks to Jenny Yelle and Liz Nodeland, NJSIAA Staff, whose efforts made this program possible. INTRODUCTION “Lead Her Forward” Welcome to today’s National Girls and Women In Sports Day celebration.
