Hall of Fame
Marlene Frahm Goucher entered Truman in 1980 and collected all-America honors in outdoor track and field three times and indoor laurels once in the shot put. It was the most times that any women's track performer at Truman had received all-America recognition. Goucher was the school's record-holder in the shot put (50-1/2) and Javelin (148-8). In 1985, she won the NCAA Division II indoor and outdoor titles and broke the national indoor record in the shot put (50-1/2), and qualified for the Division I nationals. Goucher was also a seven-time MIAA conference champion and record-holder in the shot put. She graduated in 1986 and served as a student assistant at Truman and a graduate assistant coach at Mankato (Minn.) State University. At the time of her induction, Goucher was a Production Associate with Hollister, Inc., in Kirksville.
