Margaret Varner Bloss
Margaret Varner Bloss (born October 4, 1927) is a retired American athlete and professor of physical education from El Paso, Texas who excelled in three distinctly different racket sports: badminton, squash, and tennis. She is the only person to have represented the USA at the highest level of international competition in all three sports.〔(Varner-Bloss )〕 She is also the only person to have won the U.S. national singles championships of both badminton and squash or to have been inducted into the respective U.S. halls of fame of both sports.〔(2006 U.S. Nationals - Past Champions )〕〔(Walk of Fame Inductees and Profiles )〕〔(United States Squash Hall of Fame Members )〕
== Badminton career ==
Perhaps Ms. Varner's most impressive accomplishments came in badminton, which she took up at Texas Woman's University in the late 1940s, having already gained prominence in junior and collegiate tennis.〔 In 1955 and 1956 she won consecutive Women's Singles titles at the All-England Championships, then the world's most prestigious badminton tournament for individual players. She was a runner-up in the All England Singles in 1957, 1958 and 1960, and shared the Doubles title in 1958.〔List of All England Women's Singles champions〕 The fact that she won only one U.S. Singles title in badminton (1955) is largely attributable to the presence of two formidable contemporaries: first, Ethel Marshall, and later, Judy Devlin Hashman.〔 Along with Ms. Varner they form a kind of "Great Triumvirate" of American Women's Badminton.
Ms. Varner was a member of the world champion U.S. Uber Cup (Women's International Badminton) teams of 1957 and 1960.〔(Uber Cup )〕 After helping to secure victory in the second of these triennial events she retired from badminton competition. She was inducted into the U.S. Badminton Hall of Fame (now called the Walk of Fame) in 1965 and the World Badminton Hall of Fame in 1999.〔
