NCAA WOMAN OF THE YEAR - AGGIE TRACK & FIELD HONOREES

In less than half a decade, UC Davis women’s track & field boasted three finalists – including two winners – for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award, which honors excellence and leadership in athletics, academics and in the community. Founded in 1991, the award stands as one of the highest honors that national governing body bestows upon an individual. Since then, UC Davis is the only Division II institution to have won the award and is one of just two schools to have three winners (Aggie lacrosse player Kelly Albin captured the honor in 2004). Hundreds of student-athletes are nominated annually, from which one winner is chosen for each state plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. From those 52 state-level honorees, the NCAA selects 10 finalists. The winner is then chosen at an annual televised banquet. Remarkably, the Aggies’ All-American 4x400 relay team at the 1999 NCAA Outdoor Championships featured three finalists: 2001 finalist Kameelah Elarms was the leadoff runner, 2002 winner Tanisha Silas ran the third leg and 1999 winner Jamila Demby served as the anchor.

THE PAVILION

HICKEY GYMNASTICS CENTER

The Pavilion, formerly known as Recreation Hall, serves as home court for UC Davis basketball, volleyball, wrestling and gymnastics, as well as con- certs and special events. With a seating capacity of nearly 8,000, the Pavilion ranks as one of the largest on-campus arenas in Northern California. The former Lower Hickey Gym, the first home of women’s athletics in the post-Title IX era, was con- verted to a first-class practice facility for the Aggie gymnastics team in 2005. LA RUE FIELD

Recognized in 1999 as “Softball Field of the Year” by the Sports Turf Managers Association, La Rue Field hosted five NCAA West Region Softball Champion- ships in the past decade. Recent additions include bat- ting cages, covered dugouts and improved press areas.

SCHAAL AQUATICS CENTER

In January of 2004, the Ted & Rand Schaal Aquatics Center hosted its first event. The complex features an Olympic-sized pool, locker rooms, team rooms, office space and perma- nent seating for approximately 500 spectators. The aquatics center will allow UC Davis to host championship events, including the 2006 NCAA Women’s Water Polo Championships.
