The year 2022 marks the 50-year anniversary of the passage of Title IX, the landmark federal legislation that opened the door for greater equity for women involved in amateur athletics.
 
To mark this milestone, Linfield Athletics is inviting graduated alumni, former coaches and supporters from all eras who participated in, or were proud supporters of, women's athletics at Linfield at any point during the past 50 years.
 
On Saturday, October 1, we welcome you to join us for a Celebration of Women's Athletics at Linfield. The event, sponsored by Oregon State Credit Union and featuring food and beverages supplied by Golden Valley Brewery and Restaurant, will take place in conjunction with the Linfield-Puget Sound home football game. The event is free of charge and include admission to the game.  All former athletes and coaches who participated in women's sports at Linfield will be recognized during halftime of the football game where they will be presented with a commemorative gift.

The celebration will begin at 11 a.m. on Saturday in the Paul Durham Foyer where a new plaque will be unveiled honoring the pioneering efforts of former Linfield coach and athletic director Dr. Jane McIlroy.
