#FlasbackFriday: #SJSU Alumna Margaret Jenkins, ’25 Education, was a trailblazer for women athletes in the early 20th century. She was also the first Spartan and the first woman from Santa Clara County to compete in the Olympics in 1928. #Tokyo2020 In a 1984 interview with the @mercnews, she said it was considered unladylike, even a little bit brazen, to compete in athletics Reflecting on it, I guess I was a little bit courageous. I had to train in back alleys, away from everyone else. There were no woman coaches, so you had to find a male coach who would take you. http://ow.ly/OOJg50Fn1pF
