Women’s Athletics Celebrates 50 Years Strong

The college celebrates half a century of women’s sports at a sold-out dinner Saturday, Oct. 18, at 5 pm at Montecito Covenant Church. Women’s athletics at Westmont has a rich tradition in both competition, and in helping student-athletes mature in all areas of life. Athletic accomplishments include eight national championships, 21 national top four finishes, and 355 All-Americans.

Women’s sports at Westmont began with the 1973-74 season, which saw the beginning of the volleyball and women’s basketball programs.

The event, which will honor athletes from the entire history of Westmont women’s sports, is expected to draw the largest gathering of current and former Westmont women athletes in
school history.
