The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) announced today that Barbara Hedges, former director of athletics at the University of Washington has been selected by the NACDA Officers and Executive Committee to be the recipient of the 44th James J. Corbett Memorial Award.

The Corbett Award is presented annually to the collegiate administrator who "through the years has most typified Corbett's devotion to intercollegiate athletics and worked unceasingly for its betterment." Corbett, athletics director at Louisiana State University, was NACDA's first president in 1965. The award is the highest honor one can achieve in collegiate athletics administration.
