2011 NACWAA Honor Award Acceptance: Christie Rampone, U.S. Women's Soccer National Team and World Cup Champion, on behalf of the 1999 U.S. Women's National Team
As the longest-standing active women’s soccer player in the world, Christie Rampone is the only remaining player from the 1999 Women’s World Cup championship squad to still don a United States uniform. Her storied 14-year history of competition at the world’s most elite level of soccer is perhaps the most picturesque and complete embodiment of the same grace, humility, resilience, strength, talent and leadership that catapulted the 1999 Women’s National Team (WNT) to previously unchartered levels of mainstream hysteria, which shattered glass ceilings for women in sport nation-wide. Rampone is an empowered and celebrated U.S. co-captain who has spent more than a decade fighting for the rights of women in the sport of soccer. Read her full bio.
