“You can look beautiful and run the 100 in 10.9” That was the philosophy of the Texas Track Club in Abilene TX in 1964 Here they are featured in a Sports Illustrated shoot as they train for the Tokyo Olympics Although their signature hair styles were not super aerodynamic, they preferred the bouffant style because “the wind doesn’t blow your hair in your face” It was founded in 1961 to inspire girls to keep running after the age of 10 The club became a big hit and grew from just a few girls to a wait list of over 20. The coach, Mrs. Ellison, wished she could’ve redesigned the “baggy” uniforms of Team USA
