Stokes and Pickett, the two 18 year olds, despite their age and experience, did extremely well against national competition. Pickett hailed from Illinois, so she was not so much out of her element. Not so for Stokes, as due to the limited travel of Americans overall in those days, she probably would have been hard-pressed to find that state on a map. Who knew she would be making even longer travels in her immediate future? Many of the women who competed in the various Olympic trial events had the advantage of formalized training teams sponsored by corporations of the day. For instance, Didrickson, regarded as the best athlete of all those competing, was trained and supported by the nationally known Employee Casualty & Life Co. Stokes had only been training specifically for track and field on a semi-regular basis for just over a year at the time, with Malden track enthusiast Bill Quaine, who had formed the Onteora Track Club in the Malden-North Shore area. Pickett had just a bit more formal training than Stokes. History made: first two black women Olympians Still, both persevered, performed at a high level and prevailed, as each etched their names in the history books as the first Black women to become Olympians. In 1932, Stokes finished fourth in the 100-meter finals with a time of 12.4 seconds, while Pickett was right behind her in sixth place at 12.5 seconds. According to Smithsonian Magazine writer Matt Osgood, in a 2016 article, the method of selection for the four women who would run in the 4 x 100 Relay team for the Olympics women’s team would be the top four finishers in the 100-meter event at the trials, and the fifth- (Pickett) and sixth-place finisher there would be alternates. However, the four top finishers were Ethel Harrington, Wilhemina “Billie” von Bremen, Elizabeth Wilde, Stokes, a OLYMPIAN | SEE PAGE 16 will be held in the Finn Gym at Malden High School (50 Holden St. entrance).
