Her earliest national level competition was at the 1925 Dutch national championships where she won with her club the silver medal in the 4x 80 metres relay.[2] In 1926 she became Dutch national champion in the 4x 100 metres.[3]
In 1927, after good individual performance at the district champhinships,[4] she became a week later national champion in the discus throw event.[5][6] At the national championships Mür also became for the second consecutive year Dutch national champion in the 4x 100 metres together with Martha Kolthof, Willy Hamerslag and Nettie Grooss with a time of 55 seconds.[7]
In the reports of her national discus throw title it was somehow criticized that het trow was over four meters below the national record.[6] She showed in September 1927 she was a good discus thrower, throwing 24.11 metres in an out of competition record attempt, beating the old record of Martha Kolthof.[1] For her record she received a special prize.[8] While newspapers reported it as a new national record, the record was not recognized by the Dutch athletics federation.[9]
Mür represented the Netherlands at two international competitions.[10] She competed at the international competition against Belgium.[11][12] She also competed at the international tournament against Germany in Dortmund.[13][14] Only a few women’s events were included at the 1928 Summer Olympics. The Netherlands could only send a limited amount of athletes. Mür was a reserve athlete and didn’t compete at the Games.[15]
On of her last competitions, was the 1929 regional championships where she won the discus throw event.[16]
