I grew up in Philadelphia watching the Eastern Warriors - Judy Arnold, Ruberta Mitchell, Little Yvonne Riggins, and Dru Scott. On the men's team, there was Jim Trotter, Otis Williams, Butch MacCrae, and head coach Buddy Atkinson Jr. Trackside commentary was provided by Ed Darien and Elmer Anderson.
Were you watching in the 50s? I seem to remember a woman (for the Bombers?) named Tuffy...ring a bell?
