	Tessa Sanderson
		Tessa Sanderson was a fantastic all round athlete, who could have easily become as famous as an heptathlete, as she did as a javelin thrower, if she had decided to concentrate solely on the former discipline.
		In fact, Tessa achieved more success in multi-event competition in her early years, with wins and minor places in a number of junior pentathlon events, and a 5th place finish, at only 17 years of age, in the 1973 WAAA pentathlon.
		However, Tessa's javelin expertise was gradually coming to the fore, and on 25 August that year, she finished 12th at the European Junior Championships in Duisburg with a throw of 39.18m.

		Tessa had also been the dominant force amongst British javelin throwers for a decade, before the emergence of Fatima Whitbread, who eventually usurped Sanderson's dominant role and surpassed her Commonwealth record.

	IAAF International Association of Athletics Federations - IAAF.org - News
		Although Sanderson, the 1984 Olympic champion, didn’t retire until after the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, that World Cup victory effectively ended a golden age for Britain in which she and 1987 world champion Fatima Whitbread spearheaded the British challenge in women’s throwing events.
		Although Morgan was only born in 1980, two years after Sanderson won the first of her three Commonwealth titles, Whitbread and Sanderson’s legacy is something the Salisbury based spear thrower is keenly aware of, and eager to emulate.
		Whether Morgan becomes an athletics icon to match Sanderson and Whitbread remains to be seen (because of the new specification javelin their performances are difficult to compare), but there’s little doubt she’s already made a significant impact on the 2002 season.
