Anne Rochelle Steely Ramirez (born October 23, 1962), née Anne Rochelle Steely, is a former long-distance runner who competed internationally for the United States. She specialized in the 3,000 meters on the track and later competed in road running events. She made her international debut in cross country and helped the United States the women's team title at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships in 1985.
Her focus changed to the 3,000 meters, a distance in which she was a two-time US champion (outdoors in 1991 and indoors in 1992). She reached the final of that event at the 1991 World Championships in Athletics and the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Steely's performances deteriorated and she was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism.
However, she made an athletic comeback in 1998 and she won two national road titles, as well as appearing at the Goodwill Games and IAAF World Half Marathon Championships that year. She made one more appearance at the World Half Marathon event in 2000, but retired to focus on education studies.
As of Nov 13, 2026: 3000 m 8:41.28 (#294 all-time), 1500 m 4:05.07 (#526 all-time), 2002 season best 33:57 (Oct 13, 2002, Burnie (AUS)) · Last competition: New York Marathon, Nov 3, 2002, 2:44:51 · 64 years old
