Lillian Copeland

Won silver in discus at the 1928 Olympics, then gold in 1932, setting multiple world records along the way in discus, javelin, and shot put. The New York Times called her the country's best all-around female athlete in 1928, and until Beijing in 2008 she remained the only American woman ever to win Olympic discus. She also took three golds at the 1935 Maccabiah Games in Mandatory Palestine, and has been inducted into the USATF, Helms, and International Jewish Sports Halls of Fame.
