That was Jim Anne Baker, who grew up in Cisco, TX (as did my father)and played college basketball for Texas Christian University (TCU)in Fort Worth (Cisco and Fort Worth are about 100 miles apart). 

I believe that she was also a runner, but maybe that was just in high school. 

And yes it is a quintessential Texas small town name IMO.
