Annette Rogers Kelly was a world-class track-and-field star with a wall filled with medals, two of them Olympic gold.

She won gold medals as part of the U.S. women's 400 meter relay teams in the 1932 Los Angeles and 1936 Berlin Olympics.

Mrs. Kelly, 93, died Wednesday, Nov. 8, of pneumonia at Holy Family Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Des Plaines, said her daughter, Kathleen.

Mrs. Kelly was born in Chelsea, Mass., the second of four children, and was raised in Chicago. She enjoyed running races with friends since she was young. "She would even run against the men," her daughter said. "It gave her a big charge to beat the guys."

Mrs. Kelly attended Senn High School and went to Northwestern University from 1933 to 1935, all the while training with the Amateur Athletic Union.

Mrs. Kelly ran the second leg of the 400 meter relay that set a then-world record time of 46.9 seconds at the 1932 Olympics.

According to a Chicago Tribune story, Mrs. Kelly traveled by ship to Germany for the 1936 Olympics, where she won a gold medal in the 400 meter relay.

Mrs. Kelly taught physical education at Lake View High School from 1935 to 1965.

"She was really into teaching health and fitness and games," her daughter said.

Mrs. Kelly remained vigorous, exercising three days a week until she was 80.

She attended the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and met several of her former teammates. Mrs. Kelly was a member of the Chicago Sports Hall of Fame and Northwestern University's Sports Hall of Fame.

Other survivors include two sons, Kevin and Terence; and four grandchildren.

Mass was said.
