[gh]

a hint on the only other one I can remember: it's from the b&w era.

Yes, Cooper is another correct answer.

Hopefully (for the sake of my memory) there's only one more correct answer left.

TFN started to cover women in ~'76, Mary's final year in high school (and injury filled).

Whatever happened to Jermaine Cooper?

[gh]

Mary Decker ?

No, she was out of high school before we ever had our first woman on the cover.

[gh]

Okay, then Monique Henderson.

yes

Mary Decker ?

michael carter the shotputter, i think it was in 1979.

That's the one I remember too.

no.... he was on that fall when he was enrolled at SMU, so he doesn't count.

OK, I cheated a bit, but I thought there was a HSer on the cover for the world juniors. I was banging my head trying to remember the name, so I went to the cover archive. As I was looking through past covers, I remembered the name Hordge. A bit later I found the cover of him anchoring the world junior 4x1, I think. I think he was a HSer at that point. I may be wrong.

Basically speaking, any time the terms "high school" is used in the T&FN sense it refers to U.S. high schoolers only.

If Usain Bolt was not in high school when he first appeared on the cover, he should have been.

Add also:

Obea Moore (1/97)
Alan Webb (3/01 and 8/01; also 1/2002, in his HS uniform, but when already in college)
Angela Williams (4/98)

There's at least one more, but I think that's all, off the top of my head.
