Fifty North Philadelphia middle school students came to Temple's Main Campus to spend time with Temple student-athletes and try fencing, shot-put and more. The National Girls and Women in Sports Day event celebrated opportunities provided by Title IX legislation. "[We wanted] to promote diverse sports that they would normally probably never see," said event co-organizer Margo Greicar, director of the Athletic Training Education Program at Temple. "It's just a way to give back to the community," said Jenni Abercrumbie of Temple's women's track and field team. Ali Watkins, a women's rower at Temple, wrote the story.
