The Collegiate Women Sports Awards program, presented by
Honda, recognizes accomplishments made in women's collegiate
sports.
Each year, athletes in 12 NCAA Division I individual sports are
named Honda Award winners by voting among 1,000 NCAA member schools
and the board of directors of the Collegiate Women Sports Awards
Program.
At the conclusion of the year, the
Honda-Broderick Cup and the title of the Collegiate Woman Athlete
of the Year is given to the woman who demonstrates superior
individual athletic achievement and embodies the ideals of team
contribution, scholastic endeavor and school and community
involvement.
The Collegiate Women Sports Awards program began in 1976. It
started out as the Broderick Awards, named after Tom
Broderick. It was Broderick, Irv Grossman
and Judie Holland who initiated the program.
Subsequent to the passing of Broderick, the program continued under
the guidance of Grossman and Holland and was renamed The Honda
Awards program in 1985 when American Honda Motor Co., Inc. agreed
to sponsor the program. A third name change occurred in 2001 when
the program became The Collegiate Women Sports Awards sponsored by
Honda.
