Title IX states, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
The full effect of Title IX wouldn’t be felt for six years. High schools and colleges had until July 21, 1978, to comply.
Starting in the 1970s, the Ohio High School Athletic Association held championships for girls sports, and numerous teams and athletes from the area have benefitted. Above is a selection of photos of area teams celebrating state championships.
