Connie Caruccio-Lenz

As Connie Carrucio she was one of the youngest women gymnasts at the Berlin Olympics, but she continued to compete and, despite having two children in the interim, made the 1948 Olympic team as Connie Lenz. Her best years, however, were before the war, when she won eight national titles – two in the all-around, three in floor exercies, and one each on the other apparatuses. After her competitive days ended, Mrs. Lenz served on the U.S. Olympic Gymnastic Committee until 1960 and served as a judge at all levels of competition.
