Jahzinga Tracey ranks as one of the premier basketball players in the history of not only IUP but the PSAC.
A two-time All-American and two-time PSAC West Player of the Year, Tracey is the Crimson Hawks' all-time leader in points (2,101), rebounds (1,092) and steals (378), ranks second in scoring average (16.8) and owns three of the top four single-season point totals. She is one of only eight members of the PSAC's 2,000-point/1,000-rebound club and ranks fifth in the conference in career field goals (889), sixth in steals and eighth in points.
The versatile forward/guard earned first-team all-conference honors on three occasions and was a second-team pick as a freshman, when she was selected the PSAC West Rookie of the Year. In addition to her career records, Tracey holds school single-season marks for points (612) and steals (107), and twice poured in 38 points to equal Cindy Davies' single-game record. She also shares the IUP mark for steals in a game (10) and grabbed 20 rebounds in another, a total exceeded by only two players in IUP history.
Tracey helped propel the Crimson Hawks to a 96-29 record, three PSAC titles and three NCAA tournament appearances during her years in uniform. The 2007-08 team finished 27-5 to establish what was then a school record for wins. She was selected as a Women's Basketball Coaches Association All-American in both 2008 and 2009 and a Daktronics All-American in 2009.
After graduation Tracey played four seasons of professional basketball overseas, with Eisvögel USC Freiburg in Germany and VS Praha in the Czech Republic.
The owner of two day care centers with her sister, Tracey resides in Grimes, Iowa.
