most — changing lives and inspiring the next generation of women to
strive for greatness.
Terry Babilla, President of BSN
SPORTS, commented, "A year ago, we launched Women of Will with our
long-time partner, Under Armour, to serve as the first national
sponsorship program for women's high school sports teams. This
effort recognizes and supports high school women – both at the
coach/AD and student-athlete level – who possess the ambition and
defiant swagger to overcome any obstacle. Consistent with this
goal, we are thrilled to recognize five athletic directors from
across the country who represent the 'best of' the WOW program. We
are honored to support them and their programs and look forward to
another year successful year for the WOW program."

Graduation Awards recognize one female athlete from every WOW
school at the end of the year. The athlete is nominated by their
