Marjorie started athletics as an eleven-year old during the Fall of 1948 running on a NYC Police Athletic League Queens Borough championship relay team. Olympian Mae Faggs ran the critical anchor leg. The NYC PAL track & field program was organized after World War II by NYPD Sgt. John P. Brennan. The program at its peak had more than 6,000 youngsters ages 6-17 years old competing year-round in outdoor and indoor meets in their home borough culminating in a city championship for borough winners. Sgt. Brennan coached and mentored Mae Faggs to the 1948 London Olympics in the 200 meter sprint. At sixteen, she was the youngest on the team. He introduced and trained Marjorie in the javelin, discus and shot put guiding her to the 1952 Helsinki Olympics. Coach Brennan died at 49 of a sudden heart attack in 1955. The John P. Brennan Memorial Field in Juniper Valley, Queens, NY honors his dedication in expanding the sport of track and field to New York's inner-city youth.[1]
Marjorie represented the Queens Mercurettes later in her athletic career. She won a silver medal in the javelin and a bronze in the discus at the 1959 Pan American Games. She was elected to the Helms Athletic Foundation Track & Field Hall of Fame in 1965. At 50 years old, representing the San Francisco Masters Track Club, she competed in the US Masters Track and Field Championships in Eugene, OR and placed first in both the discus and shot put and second in the javelin.[2] In 2013 she was inducted into the Queens College Athletic Hall of Fame.[3] She was a member of the Selection Committee for the Inaugural Class of the National High School Track & Field Hall of Fame in 2018.[4]Emerlaf (talk) 03:10, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
