Dolores Dwyer

Dolores Dwyer was a sprinter for the German-American Athletic Club and Manhattan CYO. She was the 1953 AAU Champion in the 200 and won three AAU indoor titles in the 60 yards – 1949-50, and 1952. Dwyer competed in the sprints at the 1951 Pan-American Games, where she helped her US team to the gold medal in the 4×100 relay (with Nell Jackson, Janet Moreau, and the non-Olympian Jean Patton) and finished sixth in the 200 metres. Dwyer was part of a world-record setting relay team in the 4×220 yards in 1952. She attended Queens College but did not run track there. She became an actress, appearing in off-Broadway productions and much later in life began to make some television appearances, notably in a 2003 episode of “Sex and the City”.

Personal Best: 200 – 24.4 (1953).
