The Trailblazer awards went to five inspirational women in sports. The visionary award was given to Justine Siegal, the Courage award to Colleen Healy, MVP to Lauren Holtkamp-Sterling, and the two Lifetime Achievement awards went to the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women and Donna Orender.Â
