Adele Savaria makes Albertson shrine
Coyote tennis player, skier
Hailey’s Adele Allender Savaria was notified Thursday that she has been inducted into the athletic hall of fame at Albertson College, a four-year liberal arts college in Caldwell.
Savaria, 37, will join Coyote football standout Bob Morford and three-sport letterman Jack Kennevick at induction ceremonies on Feb. 8, 2003.
Quite an accomplishment for a young woman who first matriculated at Albertson College at the age of 24, in 1989. Adele graduated from Albertson in 1993 with a degree in accounting and business administration.
She made the Hall of Fame for her contributions in alpine skiing and women’s tennis.
As a teenager Adele moved from Squaw Valley, Ca. to the Wood River Valley so she could join the Sun Valley Ski Team.
She spent her junior year at Hailey’s Wood River High School, where she and partner Anise Morrow won the Idaho State Class B girls’ doubles tennis championship in 1982.
From 1983-89 she was a member of the U.S. Ski Team.
With only one year of ski eligibility remaining when she joined the Albertson College ski team, Savaria won national NCSA slalom and giant slalom titles at Waterville Valley, N.H. in 1990. Her team emerged as the overall NCSA champion.
Her eligibility in NAIA tennis wasn’t affected by her age so Adele also played three years of college tennis for Albertson College—making it to the NAIA national meet all three years in women’s doubles.
After graduation she coached for the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation from 1993-2001, handling the top-flight A/B team skiers.
Adele and her husband Pat Savaria, former SVSEF alpine director, have two children; Kalen, 7, and Austin, 5. They have plans to teach after-school ski racing at Hailey’s Rotarun Ski Area this coming winter.
