History

Historical Context

Title IX was enacted in 1972, prohibiting gender discrimination in federally funded education programs, which significantly advanced women's sports. Following this, the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) began promoting girls' tennis tournaments, leading to increased participation. Today, events like the sectional finals highlight this legacy, showcasing young athletes such as Lily Setrakian from Old Tappan, fostering competitive environments for female athletes.
