TITLE IX AT 50 - DALE ANN MEEKER
Dale Ann Meeker’s multi-sport “career of firsts” at Wyoming’s Powell High School saw her compete in the Wyoming High School Activities Association’s (WHSAA) first annual girls state track meet and first unofficial girls state basketball title game. She later received the first women’s basketball scholarship offered by the University of Wyoming.
Following a hall of fame collegiate career, Meeker embarked on a remarkable 39-year coaching career that was highlighted by 15 years at the helm of the Powell girls basketball program. In that role, she was recognized as the Wyoming Class 3A Coach of the Year and was a five-time conference coach of the year. She also coached a team of all stars from Wyoming and Colorado that participated in Belgium.
Meeker’s other endeavors include 24 years as a middle school boys and girls track coach, four years as a junior varsity basketball coach, and two years as a middle school basketball coach. She also served as a member of the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Sport, co-chair of the Simpson Committee (which selects Wyoming’s senior male and female athletes of the year), and is a member of the University of Wyoming Hall of Fame Selection Committee. #TitleIXat50
TITLE IX AT 50 - JAN JOHNSON
In 1979, Jan Johnson arrived in Ten Sleep, WY, a young post-college athlete looking to instill lessons with the same vigor as female coaches who fought for her opportunities. Her 30+year career included a HOF-worthy run as AD, coaching volleyball, basketball & Track, & teaching K-12 PE.
Seven years after later moving to Buffalo (WY) HS, Johnson became the school’s 1st female athletic director in '92 – a position she held for nearly 20 years. A '87 & '93 coach of the year, Johnson’s volleyball teams won a state championship & were 4-time state semifinalists.
In 2010, Johnson was recognized as the Wyoming Athletic Director of the Year, inducted into the @WYOcoaches Hall of Fame, received the @NIAAA9100 State Award of Merit, & was a finalist for the @nhsaca Athletic Director of the Year.
