There was no one by the name of Lillian Boardman that competed in the Olympics.
There was a Lillian Board that competed for Great Britain that won silver in the women's 400 meter dash at the 1968 Games in Mexico City. She was a gold medalist at the 1969 European Championships in the 800 meter run and 4x400 meter relay.
Tragically, two years after competing in the Olympics she passed away from stomach cancer at the age of 22.
