BOULDER — The precursor of CU's Athletic Hall of Fame was the "Athletic Hall of Honor," which debuted in 1967 until it was discontinued in 1987; this recognition was presented to a person who, while attending the University of Colorado, was awarded a Varsity "C" and attained distinguished achievement in his or her chosen field. There were 65 members of the original Athletic Hall of Honor, the inaugural class including the likes of Byron White and Lee Willard. Athletic director Rick George didn't think twice when presented with the idea of restoring the honor, fully supporting its return which will now be incorporated as a wing into the department's Hall of Fame. Two CU football players who have made their marks in their chosen careers are the first inductees in 35 years, as Jim Hansen and Dr. Eric McCarty were selected to be the first pair to bring the honor back to life.

With session titles like “Commando and Military Injuries: Late Night Stories,” “Surfing in the Olympics,” and “Cave Diving: The Deadliest Extreme Sport on Earth, or Not?,” you can tell this isn’t your average medical conference. It’s the International Extreme Sports Medicine Congress presented by the Division of Sports Medicine in the University of Colorado School of Medicine Department of Orthopedics, and it brings together physicians and health care professionals who work with extreme sports athletes — as well as some of the athletes themselves — for two days of learning and outdoor adventures. Scheduled for May 20 and 21 at the St. Julien Hotel in Boulder, the conference is the brainchild of Omer Mei-Dan, MD, associate professor of orthopedics.

Orthopedic surgeon Rachel Frank, MD, went straight to the source for her new textbook on treating female athletes: All of the book’s primary authors are women. “We invited exclusively authors who are recognized nationally and internationally as content and thought leaders in their particular chapter areas, and those authors happen to be women,” says Frank, associate professor of orthopedics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. “We didn’t invite authors just because they are women, but in the field of orthopedics, nearly 94% of surgeons are male. This text is an interruption to the repetitive cycle of men at the podium, and men writing the chapters, and allows some really amazing surgeons, who aren’t always given the same opportunities as our male counterparts, a chance to shine.”
