Hall of Fame
Sandee Hill spent 26 years serving USF as an Associate Athletics Director from 1979 to 2005. A graduate of Briar Cliff College, she played an instrumental role in the growth of Women’s Athletics from its infancy stage to the current program. In 1982, Hill oversaw the transition of the governance of Women’s Athletics from the AIAW (Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women) to the NCAA, and she hired many of the talented coaches who guided numerous teams to success on the conference, regional and national levels. Under her guidance, USF’s Women’s Athletics program grew from sponsoring 17 scholarships for five teams in 1979, to the fully-funded program it is today. During her tenure, USF successfully added golf, soccer and track and field to its women's program. In 2005, Hill was recognized as one of the Legends of the Hilltop for her 26 years of service, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2017.
