Coach Laster and Dr. Harvey Featured Alongside Hampton Alums for Special Edition of CIAA Title IX Trailblazers

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, will now recognize the contributions of five individuals from Hampton University that helped the CIAA and women's athletics become what it is now. These five individuals are among 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. Jacqie McWilliams-Parker, Tonia Walker, and LaTaya Hilliard-Gray are three women who have spent a decade-plus shaping the CIAA.
