SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Lincoln High School students and community members are coming together this coming week to honor local Olympic legend Jackie Thompson.
Thompson competed at the Summer Olympic Games back in 1972 in the 200-meter sprint. She joined KUSI in-studio on Sunday, reflecting fondly on her time at the games that were held in Munich (see interview above).
This week, Lincoln High School will be hosting a track meet at their newly redone track where they will be hosting a ribbon cutting and dedicating the track to Thompson. The event will begin at 2 p.m. on Thursday, April 9.
