In the following pages there is a lot of text, twenty interviews in total. Ten of the interviews are with former Ivy League athletes who have now joined the coaching ranks. These interviews, which appear on the left feature stories like that of Sue Bower. Sue is the women's golf coach at Tulane, one of the best programs in the country. She enrolled at Dartmouth the same year that the women's golf program started in Hanover. She credits competition in the Ivy League as the reason why she became a professional golfer and later a collegiate golf coach.

On the right side of the page you will find 10 corresponding interviews. These were conducted with ten current Ivy League athletes in the same sports as the coaches. Sue Bower, the Dartmouth grad and Tulane head coach, pairs up with current Dartmouth student-athlete Anne Daher. There are many great stories to be told in the students' section as well. How about Penn senior rower Catherine Hunt who had to be ready every high school morning by the time the 4:30 am carpool arrived so that she could make it to practice and back before school?

This celebration of women in athletics does not come without a few points of debate. Where is women's athletics headed in the future? Has it hit a glass ceiling in its development? Will it continue to grow into even more professional teams? Has the quality of play caught up to quantity of opportunities available? Many of the coaches point to specialization in one sport as a major concern. While the students' opinions vary on issues like the Ivy League's seven-week rule (Robinson, Mansur). You'll have to read on to decide for yourself.
