Future Olympian Martha Hudson competes for the Twin City (McRae) team. Hudson won gold as part of the United States 4x100 relay team at the 1960 Olympics.

Event results


Partial results.

100-yard dash: 1st - Martha Hudson (Twin City)

440-yard relay: 1st - Twin City

The Leader-Tribune article about the state track meet credits Twin City's Hudson as Mary Hudson, but with a note in the May 2, 1957, write-up that "Hudson has run in many national meets such as the Tuskegee Relays and the Women's AAU Relays," no doubt that this is indeed Martha Hudson.
