A History of Badger Women's Basketball

Abby completed her fourth grade Wisconsin project last night. She had to pick a topic that intrested her and that somehow impacts Wisconsin history.
~~~
Abby chose this for her topic...The History of Women's Basketball at University of Wisconsin-Madison!
~~~
Here is Abby's completed project...
~~~
She included several pictures of ladies from the late 1800's and early 1900's from UW Madison playing basketball.
~~~
Here is a picture she colored of Bucky Badger...
~~~
This "team" was from 1902, although the team wasn't officially recognized by the university, and the women only played amongst themselves, and occasionally against local high schools.
~~~
Abby wrote several cards of information to post along with her pictures...
~~~
Another picture of an early women's basketball game at UW Madison--check out the skirts the ladies wore!
~~~
~~~
~~~
Abby even made a replica of a basketball court out of popcicle sticks!
~~~
Abz had a great idea to suspend basketballs by springs above the rims on her basketball hoops!

One tired girl after working hard on her Wisconsin project!
Good Job, Abz!
