For the first time in 100 years, Barnstable High School allowed a varsity sport to be integrated with both males and females. Delvina Flaherty and Marcia Norman both signed up to participate on coach Hal Cornforth's Varsity Winter Track Team in the winter of 1973-1974. Flaherty ran the 600, 880 and 1000 yard events.

The autumn of 1974 proved to be the first time that female student-athletes were allowed to integrate onto the boys varsity cross country team and compete at a varsity level with their opposite gender peers. The first female cross country runners at BHS that fall were: Marcia Norman, Mary Duncan, Tami Snell, Crystal Williams and Carol Magnuson. Norman was the first female at BHS to represent her school at the All-State Competition.

This was the first school year that Barnstable began to take seriously the prospect of varsity gymnastics. 30 girls signed up to practice and prepare throughout the fall and winter and were coached by Pamela Cushing. The BHS Girls Gymnastics Club team gave an exhibition performance in November to a packed house in the BHS gymnasium.

The Barnstable High School Athletic Department opted to pay its girls varsity basketball coach the same amount as the boys varsity basketball coach. Girls varsity basketball had been in place since 1931. The boys team has played since 1926.
