The women's Olympic trials were conducted on July 12 as a single day event in
Providence, Rhode Island
. It was considered horribly organized, or at least the women athletes were not accorded the same respect as the men in the sense that they had to conduct heats, semi-finals and finals all in the same day.
Audrey Patterson
ran five races that day to qualify in two events.
Lillian Young
ran three races and long jumped.
