Penn State's Earliest Women's Athletics Champions

 From our Golden Putter Attendant, these photos represent the earliest female cross-country and track athletes.

Women harriers at the Pennsylvania State College covered the 2 1/2 mile course in 31:40 with Miss Ida Turner of Port Matilda, Centre County, leading the field to the tape. 1919

Over a part of the cross-country course the Penn State women slowed down to a brisk walking gait. They traveled over country roads, corn fields and grass land in their efforts to win the race. 1918
