Biography
[edit | edit source]Born in Sydney, Faulkner is the daughter of St. George rugby union player Terry McClenaughan, who later served as team manager for the Wallabies.[1] She won the girls' doubles title at the 1963 Australian Championships and was also a junior national champion in the sport of squash.[2]
Faulkner played on the international tour in the 1960s and 1970s, featuring in all four grand slam tournaments. She was a women's doubles quarter-finalist at the 1965 French Championships, partnering Fay Toyne.
