In honor of
#BlackHistoryMonth, we are celebrating some of the trailblazing Black athletes to play for DWRC throughout the years!
Jill played wing-forward (flanker) from 1982-85. In 1985 she co-captained the team with Kathy Reilly Gross β85. She majored in Government modified with Classics and went on to graduate from harvardlaw in 1988. Jill now lives in Chappaqua, NY, practicing civil litigation as a partner at the national law firm Goldberg Segalla.
The Nov-Dec 1984 Harvard Magazine issue on page 2 features Jill jumping above the competition in what was a typical lineout for the time. DYK: Lifting in the lineout did not evolve until the mid 90s & wasnβt introduced in the worldrugby ELVs (experimental law variations) until 2008?! Lineouts were essentially a massive jump ball!
Swipe to see & learn more about Jill! π
