BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Peggy Martin, a former three-sport athlete at Indiana, has been named the 2007 recipient of the National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD) Leadership and Achievement Award, the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation (HPER) announced.
A 1972 HPER graduate, Martin captained the IU women's basketball team to three straight AIAW Tournament berths in addition to earning four letters in softball and three in field hockey. She later completed her doctorate in physical education at Indiana in 1980.
