“Sharon Shepherd, probably the greatest woman athlete to ever attend Linfield, is working out daily as she gets ready for the Olympic games this summer. Sharon is doing weight lifting to help develop her shot putting. Sharon was on the United States track team which met the Russians in 1958 and 1959 and also represented the U.S. at the Pan American games last summer.”… Information attributed to Paul Durham, Linfield athletic director, in “Northwest Round-Up” column by Clayton Hannon in March 28, 1960, Oregon Journal/March 29, 1960, Oregonian.
