@@roybean7166 Her coach was the late, great Bessie Windell. Don't forget she ran a blistering PB 11.06 for the 100m. As I recall it was Evette who didn't really want to run (and train for) the 400m. Although I do also recall that she did have a go at training for 100/200/400 in a later season, but she didn't come close to that debut performance again. Also to be noted that at that time the doped Eastern Bloc athletes (Marita Koch/ Jarmilla Kratochvilova) were running sub 48 seconds for the 400m. So Evette's 100 & 200 times were looking relatively better in world terms than her 400m

Probably Evette best event, 400m. She should have done more 400 and 200, 100m her start was too slow.
she had long legs which took a while to get going! I think she could have run an even more fantastic 400 if she trained for it
@@southafricanathleticslate828 definitely. Where was her coach, surely he could see she was a 400, 200m runner.
