EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable silver bowl tennis trophy, presented to the legendary Dr. Sally K. Ride in 1965. At just fourteen years old, Ride's exceptional talent and dedication led her to secure second place in a prestigious tennis tournament held in central California. This achievement marked the beginning of an extraordinary journey for Ride, who took her first tennis lesson in 1961. Recognizing her immense potential, Ride was granted a partial tennis scholarship at the renowned Westlake School for Girls later that year. Her passion and skill continued to flourish as she went on to become a nationally-ranked player during her undergraduate years at Swarthmore College and Stanford University. Despite contemplating a professional career in tennis, Ride ultimately chose to focus on science instead. In 1983, she etched her name into history by becoming the first American woman to venture into space aboard STS-7. Crafted by Gorham Manufacturing Company, this exquisite silver trophy symbolizes not only Ride's early triumphs but also serves as a testament to her indomitable spirit and unwavering pursuit of excellence. Now preserved within the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution, this cherished artifact stands as an enduring reminder of Dr. Sally K. Ride's groundbreaking achievements both on and off the court.
