Female Athletes from 1949 to 1976 finally receive their letters
|
On February 4, 2006, the Marshfield High School Athletic Department awarded a Varsity Letter to all Marshfield female athletes who competed in OSAA (Oregon Scholastic Activities Association) sports programs prior to 1976. Over 160 female student-athletes represented Marshfield in varsity sports from 1949 to 1976. Letters were awarded to these individuals at a reception held in the Marshfield High School cafeteria in the late afternoon on February 4th. Later that evening, during the half time of the Marshfield vs. Lebanon Girls Basketball game, the recipients of these letters were honored in front of our hometown crowd!
As you may recall, commencing in 1976, Marshfield High School began awarding Letters to all of its Varsity team athletes, both male and female. The column to the right lists the team sports for women and the year that the OSAA began sanctioning each sport |
Tennis -1949
Swimming & Diving - 1952 Gymnastics - 1965 (discontinued in June of 1983) Track & Field - 1966 Cross Country - 1974 Volleyball 1974 Golf - 1975 Basketball -1976 Soccer-1977 Softball-1979 |
Women before 1977 were not awarded letters. They were awarded certificates of recognition, even when they won state titles in track and tennis. Note the certificate to the right which was awarded to Ellen Braulick for 'his' participation in basketball.
