If there is one development in women’s athletics at the University of Wisconsin that makes Kit Saunders-Nordeen most proud, it is the commitment to housing teams in modern facilities.
“The facilities are absolutely terrific,” said Saunders-Nordeen, who worked in the athletic department for 26 years prior to her retirement in 1990. She was the UW’s first women’s athletic director. This weekend the university will celebrate the 30th anniversary of its women’s sports.
