Wendy Ey Memorial Coaching Scholarships
for Women
Wendy Ey (1938-1997) was an athlete, administrator, academic,
author and feminist. She was an athletics sprint and hurdles
champion from 1954 until 1960 and a Commonwealth Games Silver
Medallist in Cardiff, Wales in 1958. Wendy also excelled at
squash and hockey. She continued to be an active sport participant
all her life and was a Master’s Games World Champion
in athletics. Wendy was a lecturer in Physical Education at
the University of South Australia until her appointment in
1987 as Women’s Adviser to the South Australian Minister
of Sport and Recreation. Her death from cancer in 1997 was
tragic and untimely.
Wendy Ey was committed to enhancing opportunities
for women in sport and recreation. Her legacy has been continued
through the Wendy
Ey Memorial Coaching Scholarships for Women, which
have been established to encourage and assist female coaches
to achieve success in their chosen sport.
