Life
[
edit
]
Von Bremen graduated from
Western College for Women
in Ohio and ran for the Western Women's Club in her home city. She came second in the AAU meet in 1932 to Ethel Harrington. However Harrington was not meant to run and therefore von Bremen was declared the winner.
[1]
In the first heat
Marie Dollinger
broke the
100 metres Olympic record
with a time of 12.2 seconds.
[2]
This time was immediately improved by
Stanisława Walasiewicz
, who also set a world record.
[3]
Von Bremen ran 12.0 seconds in the final to take the bronze.
[1]
She soon joined with teammates
Mary Carew
,
Evelyn Furtsch
and
Annette Rogers
to win the gold medal in the 4×100 meters in a world record time.
