I have been thinking about all the incredible talent in UH women sports and it made me wonder if you could create a dream team using players from any UH women program past or present who would you pick. Imagine combining the speed of our track stars with the skill of our basketball and soccer players the precision of volleyball and softball athletes the ultimate UH all star squad. It is not just about stats but impact leadership and clutch performances too. I would love to hear your picks and why you chose them. Who do you think deserves to be at the top of this dream lineup and what positions would they play. Let us celebrate our women athletes by building the ultimate UH team in our minds.

I knew there was someone I was forgetting…Diane Johannigman. She swam the butterfly and was the first UH athlete to win an AIAW national championship.
