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.

  • SOT - Randalls Island - July 3-4/ OT Los Angeles - September 12-13
    1964 MEN Trials were held in Los Angeles on September 12/13, some 5 weeks before the Games, after semi-final Trials were held at Travers Island in early July with attendances of 14,000 and 17,000 on the two days. To give the full picture, both competitions are analyzed here. SOT - Randalls Island - July 3-4/ OT Los Angeles - September 12-13 OT - 100 Meters - September 12, 16.15 Hr 1. 5.

Bernie Rivers (New Mexico) 10.4e Bob Hayes had emerged in 1962, after a 9.3y/20.1y double at the '61 NAIA, and inside 3 seasons had stamped himself as the best 100 man of all-time. However, in the AAU he injured himself as he crossed the line, and he was in the OT only because of a special dispensation. In the OT race Newman started well but soon faded and Hayes, Jackson and Pender edged away from the field at 30m, with Hayes' power soon drawing clear of the others. He crossed the line 5ft ahead, still going away, and the margin of 0.1 clearly flattered Jackson. A time of 10.3 would have been a fairer indication for both Jackson and Ashworth rather than the official version of 10.4, while Stebbins and Rivers (neither officially timed) are listed at 10.4e from videotape.

We have thought a lot about this over the years and have come to realize that most of those who buy from us don’t consider themselves to be book collectors even though they may often buy collectible books. Rather, whether institutional or individual, they are thematic collectors—perhaps they collect topics related to their employment, a hobby, an institution, an interest, a region, a historical period, or even their family—and the things we sell, stories about some facet of their original owners’ lives, provide personal insights into interesting or important aspects of American life, history, or culture.

  • NBNI Meet Program
    Welcome We welcome all the outstanding participants to the 2018 New Balance Nationals Indoor Championships. And we wish a special welcome to all parents, coaches, and friends – all of whose support is invaluable. Our organization, the National Scholastic Athletics Foundation, does more than present national-caliber track and field and cross country events. We also actively support clinics and other meets with substantial financial commitments. Over the years, NSAF has grown from helping a few athletes to one that annually enables over 10,000 athletes to participate in various meets and activities. This is the 35th edition of the event, which has had various names since its inception in 1984. We are again happy to have New Balance as our title sponsor. New Balance is a wonderful part- ner – we have been together for eight years, and we expect to be together for many more years to come. We mourn the loss of Dr. Norbert Sander, who passed unexpectedly a few days after last year’s meet. Dr. Sander was the driving force in making The Armory what it is today. He is sorely missed. We appreciate The Armory’s new leadership, led by Rita Finkel and Jonathan Schindel, with whom we have a great relationship. We trust that everyone present these three days will have memorable experiences, and we wish everyone great success! Sincerely, Jim Spier Meet Director Congratulations on earning a spot at New Balance Nationals Indoor 2018! Your determination, work ethic, and incredible talent qualified you for this very special world class indoor track & field meet. Like many Olympians before you, your capability created the opportunity to compete at an elite level and enjoy this one of a kind experience.
