Biography
Winnipeg-born Millie Cheater spent most of her life in Vancouver, where she was a star track and field athlete at King Edward High School. A specialist in short distances, she was most successful in the mid-1940s. In the leadup to the Canadian trials for the 1948 Summer Olympics, she set a national record in the Senior Girls 75 yard dash and became senior National Champion in the 60 m in 1947. At the trials she was third in the 100 m, behind Pat Jones and Viola Myers, and second in the 200 m, behind Diane Foster but ahead of Donna Gilmore. These results qualified her to represent Canada at the Games in both events, but she was eliminated in the heats and retired from active competition shortly thereafter.
Personal Bests: 100 – 12.2 (1947); 200 – 25.9 (1948).
