Aged 58 during the time of the 1904 Summer Olympics, Woodruff competed in all three women's archery events at the games, coming fourth in both the women's double Columbia Round and the women's double national round.[2] Woodruff was also a member of the Cincinnati Archers team which won the gold medal women's team round although there is some debate as to whether this is a legitimate Olympic result because no other teams may have taken part.[3]

Woodruff's husband, Charles Woodruff, also competed in the 1904 Olympics, and won a silver medal in the Men's Team Round as a member of the Cincinnati Archers team.[4] [5]

Woodruff died in Illinois in March 1916 aged 69 and is buried at Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati, Ohio.[6]
