On Sunday, Feb. 6, two events will bring local girls to the Cornell campus. Advance registration is not required for these free events. After a pep rally in Newman Arena, girls will be divided into team-sized groups led by Cornell women athletes. Each group will participate in three different activities from among volleyball, rowing, soccer, field hockey, outdoor education and basketball. There also will be information about health and fitness and other athletic opportunities available to girls and women.
Admission is free.
Parents can meet their children at Lynah at the conclusion of the program. Girls also can attend the Cornell women's ice hockey game in Lynah Rink before coming to the Hall of Fame Room. Cornell is hosting National Girls and Women in Sports Day 2000 for Tompkins County girls in cooperation with the American Association of University Women and the Women's Sports Foundation.
