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 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.

    SALISBURY, TRACEY M., Ph.D. First to the Finish Line: The Tennessee State Tigerbelles 1944‐1994. (2009) Directed by Dr. Tom Martinek. 260 pp. The purpose of this study was to examine the history and analyze the influence of the women’s track and field team at the historically black college, Tennessee State University located in Nashville, Tennessee. The study was divided into three major sections. The first part examined the founding, early development and growth of the TSU women’s track and field program beginning in 1944. The second section examined the social changes and transformations of the TSU track and field program and its athletes during the heart of the civil rights and women’s movements of the 1960s and 1970s. The third section examined the decline in the TSU track and field program during Coach Edward Temple’s last years as head coach, particularly examining how and why the Tigerbelles program lost its athletic dominance during this time period. Additionally, this third part reflected on the historical legacy and influence of the Tigerbelles and the renewed efforts to return the TSU track and field program to its past glory under the last Temple-era Olympian, Chandra Cheeseborough.

If the Melbourne Olympics were the highlight of the season the FOT ran them close.

  • The International Olympic Committee, Sex Testing and the Maintenance of Hetero-Femininity in Sport
    Policing Womanhood: The International Olympic Committee, Sex Testing and the Maintenance of Hetero-Femininity in Sport DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lindsay Parks Pieper Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Sarah K. Fields, Advisor Brian Turner Judy Tzu-Chun Wu Copyrighted by Lindsay Parks Pieper 2013 Abstract This project assesses the significance of Olympic sex testing/gender verification. From 1968 to 1998, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) required sex/gender checks on all female participants, consequently defining and controlling womanhood. In the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, the IOC Medical Commission instituted the first compulsory test of the modern Olympic Movement. The procedure intended to guarantee the authenticity of Olympic competitors and unmask male masqueraders, as well as to scientifically confirm the separation of men and women in sport. Over the next three decades, the IOC authorized a policy of sex/gender conformity, which consequently outlined a specific category of woman for sport. Thus Olympic womanhood—dependent on a belief in natural, dichotomous sex/gender difference—required female athletes to conform to conventional notions of white hetero-femininity. Through these regulations, the IOC, a powerful and influential authority, has continuously reaffirmed a binary notion of sex, privileged white gender norms, re-inscribed a dichotomous paradigm of sexuality and hampered female athleticism. Although protests from the medical community and the Athletes Commission eventually coerced the IOC to abandon compulsory verification in 1999, officials failed to relinquish complete control of Olympic womanhood.

  • 1959 Chicago 1
    host to the pAN AMERICAN GAMES N. BOLETIN OFICIAL As Mayor, in the name of the people of Chicago, I extend thanks to all who have had a part in the conduct of the Third Pan Amer­ ican Games. Chicago was honored to be the host city, and it is particularly gratifying that in half the time ordinarily allotted for planning and readying for the Games our city was able to prepare the facilities needed. We are very grateful to those men and women of the Chicago area, identified with the world of sports, who gave so generously of their time and knowledge to make the Games the success they were. Chicago was fortunate to have in the ranks of its sports committees athletic leaders whose competence could not be surpassed anywhere in the world. To have been able to make a contribution toward the perpetua­ tion of the Games and to have been able to afford the young athletes who participated the opportunity to meet in friendly competition is pleasing to us. Mayor side the Gately Stadium, utilizing the existing stadium seats for spectators. Through the generous cooperation of Ragnor Benson, one of Chicago’s major building con­ tractors, it was possible to complete this project for $50,000.00. To provide shooting ranges built to interna­ tional competition specifications it was necessary to go well outside the city limits of Chicago. The City of Waukegan offered to make available a site on the shore of Lake Michigan. This proved to.be a major engineering and construction .job, . Tons and tons of earth had to be moved, and were it not for generous contributions of materials, equipment and services, the range would have cost an astronomical figure.
