Margaret Thompson Murdock is an American shooter and United States Army officer. She won a varsity letter at Kansas State by competing on the men’s rifle team.[1] Furthermore, she was the 1966 World Champion in Women's Standard Rifle.[2] She was also the first woman on the U.S. Olympic shooting team (in 1976) and the first woman to win a medal in shooting at the Olympic Games.[3] She won a silver medal that year, after tying with Lanny Bassham, the U.S. team captain.[4] Olympic rules forbade a shoot-off, which Bassham had requested.[5] During the national anthem, Bassham pulled Murdock up to stand with him on the gold medal spot at the podium.[6] In 1992 she was named to the U.S. International Shooting Hall of Fame.[7]
