Duffey competed in the 100 metres event in the 1900 Summer Olympics, placing fourth overall. He won his first-round heat with a time of seconds, dropped to seconds to win his semi-final, and took an early lead in the final before pulling a muscle in his leg. This injury forced him to withdraw from the race as the other three runners in the final took the medals.
