It has been suggested that this may be a photo of Edith Roeder, a competitor in track and field as well as basketball. A former beauty contest winner, Roeder worked hard at the Olympic lifts, and in 1955 she cleaned and jerked 170 pounds in a special exhibition held at the Junior National Weightlifting Championships. She is also credited with a one hand clean and jerk of 100 pounds.
