Many of us know the story of Wilma Rudolph and what she did at the 1960 Olympic Games, overcoming various illnesses to become the first woman to win 3 Olympic Gold Medals, in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay.
But just 4 years later, fellow TSU Tigerbelle Edith McGuire, who is often forgotten, also won 3 Olympic medals at the 1964 Games in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m.
Though she earned 1 gold and 2 silvers, McGuire's accomplishments were just as impactful and deserve a bit of highlight as well.
