Leaders and champions: women trailblazers of UCI Athletics

From the very first days of UCI, female students and administrators have blazed a trail in intercollegiate athletics. Intramural sports and physical education instruction for women at UCI started with the opening of the university in 1965 under the direction of eventual athletic director Linda Dempsay. Since then, UCI women’s athletics have produced 32 conference championships, 87 All-Americans and one Olympic Gold Medal winner.
