Evelyne Hall

Evelyne Ruth Hall was an American hurdler. She won the AAU title outdoors in 1930 and indoors in 1931, 1933, 1935. At the 1932 Olympics she earned a silver medal in the 80 m, losing in controversial fashion to Mildred Didrikson. Hall posted at time of 11.7, equal to that of Didrikson, which was a new world record. She placed fourth at the 1936 U.S. Olympic Trials and did not qualify.
After retiring from competitions, Hall worked as a coach and instructor of physical education. She prepared the first American women's athletics team for the 1951 Pan American Games, and for several years headed the U.S. Olympic women's track and field committee. She also worked as a supervisor of the Glendale Parks and Recreation department.
In an interview on November 11, 1991, at the age of 82, Adams claimed to be the "oldest living American Olympic medalist". Given the source of this claim it may be that she was referring to track and field athletes only.
