NIU's Cary Groth to be Inducted in MAC Hall of Fame

Huskie Alum Served as Athletic Director from 1994-2004

DeKALB, Ill. – Cary Groth, a Northern Illinois University alumna who served her alma mater for 23 years as women's tennis head coach (1982-84), administrator (1984-94), and athletics director (1994-2004), will be inducted into the Mid-American Conference Hall of Fame as part of its 2022 class, the league announced Friday. In recognition of the 50th anniversary of the passing of Title IX, this year's class features individuals from each member institution that have contributed to the advancement of women's athletics.

"Congratulations to Cary on this well-deserved honor," said NIU Vice President/Director of Athletics and Recreation Sean T. Frazier. "She was an obvious choice as NIU's nominee for the MAC Hall of Fame in this anniversary year as a trailblazer and an iconic leader for Huskie Athletics. From her days as a two-sport student-athlete here, to her return as a coach, through her rise to the athletic director's chair, to her continuing work today as an educator, she has been a role model and a champion for women and for all leaders in intercollegiate athletics throughout her career. We are so proud she is a Huskie!"
