Biography
In 1947, Wycombe schoolgirl Lorna Lee set a personal best, and an All-England schools long jump record, of 5.55m at Hull. It was only her first year of serious competition. The following year she finished third behind Margaret Erskine and Joan Shepherd at the WAAA Championship and all three were selected for the London Olympics, but they fell a long way short of the qualifying mark for the final 12. Lee finished third in the WAAAs again in 1949. She also competed as a sprinter for her club, Tonbridge.
Personal Best: LJ – 5.55 (1947).
