[6] At the 1908 Summer Olympics, Tremeer had no competition in the first round, winning in a walkover.

For the second round, he faced teammate G. Burton, who did not finish the race.

In the final, Tremeer had to contend against two Americans who had taken turns setting new Olympic records in the first two rounds of the event.

He finished third in 57.0 seconds, a time that was still faster than anyone had run the race before the London Olympics.
