The team finished in fourth place in 1932, clocking the same time (47.6 s) as the bronze medalists.In 1934 Dalmolen earned a silver medal at the 1934 Women's World Games in the 4 × 100 m relay (with Cor Aalten, Jo Dalmolen, Agaath Doorgeest and ).
Individually, she won a national title in the 100 m in 1935.
