Mary Meyers was part of the U.S. three-way tie for the silver medal in the 1968 500 meters. For her, it was probably a bit of a disappointment; in the 1967 World Championships she had won the 500 metre event, and was expected to be a top contender for the gold. She had been a US and national junior champion and was inducted into the US Speed Skating Hall of Fame.
Meyers attended the University of Minnesota, from which she graduated in 1969. She later obtained masters degrees in Education and Curriculum Development and had a brief teaching career, also working in health and nursing assistance. Meyers became a writer and editor with widely ranging interests, notably poetry, represented by her book “Object Constancy”.
Personal Bests: 500 – 45.7 (1967); 1000 – 1:39.5 (1968); 1500 – 2:30.4 (1967); 3000 – 5:50.5 (1968).
