Teacher Appreciation Week
The A-Club celebrated Teacher Appreciation Week earlier this month. We thank all our former student-athletes and Wildcats out there educating and making a difference in their community. Thanks for all you do!
In the 1960’s Arizona female athletes were under the Women’s Recreational Association. They did not “Letter” in a sport until 1979. Lyentte and other female athletes did in fact receive a letter years later. We thank her and her teammates for paving the road for all Arizona women student-athletes to follow!
Debbie’s senior year (1974-1975) was the first year of women’s athletics scholarships. She was 1 of 45 female athletes who received one that year.
Asian Pacific American Heritage Month
May 1st marked the beginning of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. Throughout the month, we celebrated our Asian American and Pacific Islander student-athletes and Letterwinners.
