2005 Montrose and Williams Award Winners Identified

AnawTrWthegra In Ossaycohapoanwa

Steve Harold ’87, head women’s basketball coach and athletic director, praised Tracy’s record as well “Tracy was the missing piece to the puzzle that helped GSC Lady Pioneer Basketball become the WVIAC’s premier program and one to be reckoned with on the national level. During her three year stint playing in the program, her teams compiled a record of 87-12 (32-0 at home) and captured 3 regular season championships, 2 WVIAC tournament titles, an East Region Championship, and advanced to the NCAA II national semi-finals. Tracy was an unselfish player that made everyone around her better. She was a great leader, an outstanding role model, and a tremendous competitor. She simply would not let her team lose. The WVIAC has never seen a better point guard.”
