Athletes - Jean Shiley


Jean Shiley Newhouse (November 20, 1911 - March 11, 1998) is a former American high jumper. She was born as Jean Shiley in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and later moved to Havertown, PA, where she joined the team at Haverford High School. At the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles she won the Olympic gold medal, tying with Babe Didrikson on height, but awarded the Gold as Didrikson used the Western Roll technique, to the displeasure of some of the judges.

Shiley held the world record with 1.65 metres between 1932 and 1939.
