During her college years, Jan
Williamson was quite active in the College Athletic
Department. She not only played softball and basketball for 4 years
but also was a co-captain for both sports. To add to her impressive
list of activities, Jan played volleyball for 2 years and was
involved in intramural sports for 2 years. In 1975-76, Jan’s
teammates voted to honor Jan with the Women’s Softball MVP
Award. The recipient of this award is the player who best
contributes to team leadership, exemplifies a constant effort for
team victory, gives one hundred percent both offensively and
defensively, and offers the greatest amount of concern for the team
and the college. The player selected should also display the utmost
integrity, on and off the field, toward opponents, officials,
spectators, coaches and teammates as well as posses an overall
dedication to the sport. Jan’s teammates felt the she was the
player who displayed all of these attributes. Appropriately enough,
due to her intense involvement in athletics, she was also chosen
sportswoman of the year in 1975-76.
