She was born &#039;&#039;&#039;Jean Shiley&#039;&#039;&#039; in [[Harrisburg, Pennsylvania]], and later moved to [[Havertown, Pennsylvania|Havertown]], a [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania|Philadelphia]] suburb, where she joined the team at [[Haverford High School]].<br /> <br /> Shiley tied with [[Babe Didrikson]] in the trials for the [[1932 Summer Olympics]] in [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]]. In the games, both cleared {{convert|5|ft|5+1/4|in|m|3|abbr=on}} and failed at {{convert|5|ft|6|in|m|3|abbr=on}}. In the jump-off, they tied again at a world record height of {{convert|5|ft|5+3/4|in|m|3|abbr=on}}; however, Shiley was awarded the gold medal, as Didrikson&#039;s [[Western roll]] technique was deemed &quot;diving&quot;.<br /> <br /> Didrikson was also given a share in the world record and this, though equalled a few times, stood until 1939. Shiley was ruled ineligible for the 1936 Games as she had worked as a swimming instructor.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> * [https://web.archive.org/web/20180408004116/http://www.usatf.org/HallOfFame/TF/showBio.asp?HOFIDs=152 USATF Hall of Fame]<br /> * [https://web.archive.org/web/20110722053325/http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/sh/jean-shiley-1.html Sports Reference]<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> * {{USATF Hall of Fame|id=152}}<br /> * {{World Athletics}}<br /> * {{Olympics.com profile|jean-shiley}}<br /> * {{Olympedia}}<br /> <br /> {{Footer_Olympic_Champions_High_Jump_Women}}<br /> {{USA Indoor Track and Field Championships winners in women&#039;s high jump}}<br /> {{Footer US NC High Jump Women}}<br /> {{Footer USA Track &amp; Field 1928 Summer Olympics}}<br /> {{Footer USA Track &amp; Field 1932 Summer Olympics}}<br /> <br /> {{authority control}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Shiley, Jean}}<br /> [[Category:1911 births]]<br /> [[Category:1998 deaths]]<br /> [[Category:Sportspeople from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania]]<br /> [[Category:American women high jumpers]]<br /> [[Category:Athletes (track and field) at the 1928 Summer Olympics]]<br /> [[Category:Athletes (track and field) at the 1932 Summer Olympics]]<br /> [[Category:Medalists at the 1932 Summer Olympics]]<br /> [[Category:Olympic gold medalists for the United States in track and field]]<br /> [[Category:20th-century American sportswomen]]<br /> <br /> {{US-highjump-athletics-bio-stub}}<br /> {{US-athletics-Olympic-medalist-stub}}</div>
