National Girls and Women's Sports Day

DETROIT -- The 39th celebration of National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD) is Wednesday, February 5, 2025.

Signed into recognition on February 3, 1987, National Girls and Women in Sports Day is celebrated annually across the United States and features community-based events, notable women student-athletes, awards, and other activities.

Since its formation, NGWSD has recognized the achievements of all female student-athletes, the positive benefits of female inclusion in sports, and the progress of an ongoing journey toward equal representation in sports, including Title IX.

In 1973, Women's Athletics at Wayne State University started with six (6) teams.

This 2024-2025 competitive season there are 140 Warrior female student-athletes across 10 Wayne State women's athletic teams.

These Warrior female student-athletes carry a collective 3.67 cumulative grade-point average.  In 2024, 131 Warrior female student-student-athletes earned Academic All-GLIAC awards for their work in the classroom and eight (8) earned All-America honors in competition.

Last year's NGWSD campaign raised over $10,000 for Women's Athletics at WSU.  This year we are aiming to raise even more!

The best way to ensure continued success for your favorite Warrior female student-athletes is by supporting their teams by making a financial gift between now & Saturday, February 15th by clicking the Support WSU Women's Athletics link.

Your generosity makes you part of our Warrior team!
