She competed in both the long jump and the 4 x 100 meter relay in the 1956 Olympics, where she won the bronze medal in the latter. In 1958, she became the first American woman to long-jump 20 feet. She was a member of several of TSU’s national champion relay teams. Matthews was born in 1935 in Griffin, Georgia. She attended David T. Howard High School, which produced several other world-class athletes (including high-jumper Mildred McDaniel Singleton); a gym teacher at Howard, Marion Armstrong-Perkins (Morgan), encouraged her to participate in sports.i After Matthews’s graduation from high school, she first attended Bethune Cookman College, and she then competed for the Chicago Catholic Youth Organization before she enrolled at TSU. Matthews was known for pushing her teammates in practice: Wilma Rudolph said, “Margaret would openly challenge anybody on the track. Every day. You'd think 'My God, I have to feel this every day?'”ii As a Tigerbelle, Matthews won the AAU outdoor long jump title four years in a row (from 1956 to 1959) and the 100 meter outdoor title once (in 1958)iii. Although she set an American record of 19 feet, 9.25 inches in the long jump at the 1956 Olympic Trialsiv, the Olympic Games did not go well for her: she fouled on her first two attempts and jumped far short of her best on the third jump, so she did not qualify for the finalsv.

The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap.

The Tennessee State Tigerbelles

4 The Tennessee State Tigerbelles Cold Warriors of the Track Carroll Van West In the lore of Tennessee sports history, few names are more evocative and lionized than the Tennessee State Tigerbelles, a group of women sprinters who dominated track and field events in the nation and world from the mid-1950s to mid-1980s.1 Scholarly interest in the impact of the Tigerbelles has multiplied in the twenty-first century, with dissertations and books addressing how these women track and field stars shaped mid-twentieth-century images of African American women, women involved in sports in general, and issues of civil rights and international affairs.2 The story of the Tigerbelles and their significance to American sport and cul- ture must center on the great talent and dedication to excellence of these young women. But as media coverage of their athletic exploits intensified from the early 1950s to the 1960s, the Tigerbelles were swept up in American preoccupation with the role of women in contemporary sport, the impact of race in American sport, and the role that amateur athletes could play as pawns in the propaganda postur- ings of the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Track and field at Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial State College (renamed in 1968 as Tennessee State University) began in the aftermath of Jessie Owens’s success at the 1936 Olympics. The college’s first women’s track team formed in 1943 under the direction of Jessie Abbott, succeeded by Lula Bartley in 1945. Abbott brought with him a commitment to excellence gained at Tuskegee Institute, home to the first nationally dominant African American track and field program.
A Mixed Methods Exploratory Study of Black Male Student Athletes

A MIXED METHODS EXPLORATORY STUDY OF BLACK MALE STUDENT ATHLETES’ EXPERIENCES AT A HISTORICALLY BLACK UNIVERSITY by JOSEPH NEHEMIAH COOPER (Under the Direction of Billy Hawkins) ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to identify key influences associated with the academic achievement and college experiences of Black male student athletes at a Historically Black University (HBU) in the southeastern United States. An HBU was selected for this study, both because of its unique educational environment and because there is a dearth of research on student athletes’ experiences at these institutions. This mixed methods exploratory study involved an institutional document review, a Student Athlete College Experiences Questionnaire (SACEQ), three focus group interviews, and four in-depth individual interviews. A concurrent triangulation exploratory design allowed qualitative and quantitative data to be collected simultaneously, analyzed independently, and integrated at the interpretation phase (Creswell, 2009). Participants in this study were Black male student athletes who participated in football and/or men’s basketball at the targeted HBU. Data was analyzed using an interpretive interactionism paradigmatic stance to attain a deeper understanding of the lived experiences and perceptions of the participants (Denzin, 2001). Additionally, institutional theory (Powell & DiMaggio, 1991) was applied to highlight key institutional practices at an HBU that contributed to Black male student athletes’ academic achievement and positive college experiences.
