Women’s Track & Field (1:00 Class)

When it came time for our group to choose a sport for the centennial project we were eager to select Women’s Track and Field. We were enthusiastic for choosing Women’s Track and Field because we wanted to learn more information about the team and their prolific history. When we began to do research we came across some difficulties in finding adequate information about the team. While searching through the past yearbooks, there were issues with finding valid information that we needed, such as recent coaches, records, and year started. We also struggled with developing an overall record for the team because of the missing information and the immense number of events that track and field have to offer. For many of the years, the team was not even present in the yearbook. This created a predicament because much of the beginning history could not be found. We then searched through the archives of the library and found the missing piece to the puzzle. After this information was discovered our group was ready to dive in head first into the puddle of knowledge that the Women’s Track and Field team had to offer.

Our group had an idea of whom to interview and they were very accessible. After getting in touch with the interviewees the interviews were ready to commence. The interviewees were very enthusiastic about the interviews and supplied supplemental information to us. The interviews gave us a wide variety of the many point of views that will be shared throughout the rest of our paper. With the new information that we have obtained from the interviewees we now have soaked up the puddle of knowledge that is Women’s Track and Field.

Members of this Group include: Saeedah Ahmad, Derek Kuhlman, Bethany Robinson, and Charles Rooney
