There was so much news about it on Thursday that I moved what I had written up here to below the fold, so to speak.
Mizzou Athletics continues to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Title IX. Thursday’s highlight is Barbara Berkmeyer, Mizzou’s first woman scholarship athlete. The golfer had quite the resume, per MUTigers.com:
Five Missouri Women’s Amateur titles and four runner-up finishes in that event. She is also a 13-time champion of the Missouri Women’s Senior Amateur. Berkmeyer played in five U.S. Women’s Amateur Championships from 1964 to 1991 and played in four LPGA events and was the low amateur in two of those outings.
