CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The power of women’s athletics is on display every day at UNC as Carolina’s 15 varsity women’s squads train, practice, play and lead through their sports. But once a year, the teams join together, along with several hundred young athletes who view the Tar Heels as role models, to celebrate their strength at UNC’s annual National Girls and Women in Sports Day event.
This year’s celebration was held on Jan. 29, and the event drew a record crowd. More than 700 people packed Fetzer Gym on the UNC campus to meet members of the Tar Heel women’s teams and learn about their sports.
