COLUMBIA, Mo. - Past Mizzou female letter winners from the early 1970s – 1990s were presented with their new letter jackets during the 2015 Mizzou Homecoming weekend (Oct. 9-10).
As part of the Letter Jacket Initiative, TSF and Mizzou Athletics strived to honor and recognize those accomplished female letter winners from the 1970s – 1990s who previously didn't receive the same letter jacket as their male counterparts.
Members of the female letter jacket winners' ceremony began their weekend on Friday, Oct. 9, with an exclusive tour of Mizzou Athletics' facilities. Later that evening, over 200 former female letter winners from 10 sports were honored at a reception led by Director of Athletics, Mack Rhoades.
On Saturday, Oct. 10, the former Tigers came together for a tailgate prior to Mizzou Football's Homecoming game vs. Florida. Additionally, all letter jacket recipients were honored on Faurot Field during the Mizzou Football game.
