Jean Scrivens is not Mrs. Baker
The character of Mrs. Betty Baker in the 2007 young adult novel The Wednesday Wars, by Gary D. Schmidt, is said to have run the anchor leg of the 1956 Melbourne 4 × 100 m relay, taking the team from fifth place (when she received the baton) to second (when she crossed the finish line). Refer to Some important differences (per ): Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 14:41, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
 * In Melbourne 1956, the team from the United States finished in third place.
 * In Melbourne 1956, the team from Great Britain (which placed second) was leading the race entering the anchor leg of the 4×100m.
 * In Melbourne 1956, the team from Great Britain was anchored by Heather Armitage.
 * In Melbourne 1956, the team from Australia finished in first place, rising from second during the anchor leg with Betty Cuthbert credited with a "tremendous finishing sprint [that] carried Australia into the lead in a new World and Olympic time of 44.7 secs." (per the Official Report, referenced above)
