Helen Stephens is perhaps the most well-known athlete in Fulton’s history. 
She was named the 1936 Associated Press Athlete of the Year after winning gold medals in the 100-meter dash and 4x100-meter relay, setting a record in the 100-meter dash that would stand for 24 years. She won 14 AAU track and field titles, and retired from amateur sports having never lost a footrace. 

Following her retirement from the Defense Mapping Agency Aerospace Center, she served as an advisor to the William Woods College track and field program and served on the board of directors of the Senior Olympics Programs.
