By Mike Abrams · Wednesday, Sept. 5,2007 11:42 p.m.

Participation in high school sports sets new record again

By Aaron Beard · Wednesday, Sept. 5,2007 11:15 p.m.

More than half of the nation’s high school students participated in sports last year, and for the first time, more than 3 million of them were girls. The National Federation of State High School Associations released the results of its annual participation survey on Wednesday, listing a record 7,342,910 high school athletes in the 2006-07 school year among its member associations in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. It’s the 18th straight year the number of participants has increased. “This is certainly another great report,” NFHS executive director Robert F. Kanaby said. “The girls participation figure is particularly exciting since this year is the 35th anniversary of Title IX.”
