The spotlight series is part of the Sports Authority’s year-long celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Title IX, and recognizes Nashvillians who have made not only a significant and long-lasting impact as an athlete, but have opened doors, removed barriers and encouraged participation in sports for girls and women.
