Mabel Staton, the Black track and field standout who broke through racial barriers to become the only woman to compete for the United States in long jump at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics, has died.
An antidiscrimination lawsuit on her behalf helped lead to one of the first multiracial track teams in the Midwest.
Staton, who went by the name of Mabel Landry when she attended DePaul in the 1950s, before the school had a women's track team, was inducted into the university's athletic Hall of Fame in 2011.
