Hendrix College Athletics

“Remarkable” is the word that best describes the athletic career of Lucile Womack. In her heyday, when women’s basketball was played 6 on 6 (3 on defense and 3 on offense) on a half-court, she earned four letters for her basketball exploits while playing for the Hendrix College

Bulldogs. In 1925, her unbelievable ability to score baskets led to a Hendrix College Arkansas Amateur Athletic Union State Championship. Womack’s ability to put points on the board contributed to victory after victory. Her performance earned her a First Team selection on the All-Arkansas roster during the 1924-25 Women’s Basketball season.

However, basketball is not the only sport in which she excelled. During the competition in Arkansas’s first-ever Woman’s Intercollegiate Track and Field meet, held at College of the Ozarks in Clarksville, she won the baseball throw and high jump, and was on the winning 220-yard shuttle relay and the 440-yard relay teams.
