Janet Koontz

Induction:
2003

Koontz was an instrumental figure in the establishment of women's sports at Rutgers University. She initially served on the University's committee to study and ultimately plan the initial women's sports program at RU, which included seven sports at its inception. Koontz then served as the primary administrator for the women's teams, dealing with issues such as budget, facilities, equipment, sports to be included, personnel, financial aid and scheduling. She served on the University's Committee for Women's Athletics for eight years and was active on both the state and national level, assisting with the inauguration of the Association of Women's Collegiate Athletics Administrators of New Jersey.
