First up to bat is Max Krauss, a junior studying business and marketing at Washington and Lee University who’s currently interning at experiential agency MKTG INC.

On Saturday, June 23, for the 40th anniversary of Title IX, MKTG INC worked with Nike to host  a “Celebration of Sport” event at Pier 46 in NYC to commemorate this landmark in women’s athletic history. The day-long event was completely free and open to the public and was comprised of multiple training sessions led by top women’s fitness gurus, Nike+ competitive trials, and a Q&A session with pioneers in women’s professional sports.

Throughout the day, hundreds and hundreds of people flowed through the pier, bringing everything from their yoga mats to boxing gloves to participate in the high-intensity workouts all day long.
