CHARLOTTE, NC (February 17, 2023) — In continued celebration and acknowledgment of the 50th Anniversary of Title IX, the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA), the nation's oldest historically Black athletic conference, is recognizing four CIAA Hall of Famers and a fifth that could possibly be joining them in the future, that have and are providing a positive influence on their institutions, women's athletics, and HBCUs. These five people are just five of a total of 50 CIAA Title IX Trailblazers, who will be recognized during the 2023 CIAA Men's and Women's Basketball Tournament, which will be held from February 21-25 at the CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, MD. Elorine Hill, James Battle, Dr. Linda Person, and Delores "Dee" Todd crafted their legacies long ago with a combined 80-plus years of experience in intercollegiate athletics. Their efforts paved the way for a new generation; a generation, headlined by names like Tiffani-Dawn Sykes that is beginning to craft their own stories and making their own marks. These five individuals are CIAA Title IX Trailblazers.
