Jean Shiley

Jean Shiley Newhouse (November 20, 1911 – March 11, 1998) was an American high jumper.

She was born Jean Shiley in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and later moved to Havertown, a Philadelphia suburb, where she joined the team at Haverford High School.

Shiley tied with Babe Didrikson in the trials for the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

In the jump-off, they tied again at a world record height of 5 ft 5+3⁄4 in (1.670 m); however, Shiley was awarded the gold medal, as Didrikson's Western roll technique was deemed "diving".

Shiley was ruled ineligible for the 1936 Games as she had worked as a swimming instructor.
