From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
American athlete
Jeremiah Alfred LeConey
(November 3, 1901 ? November 11, 1959) was an American
athlete
, winner of the gold medal in the 4x100 meter
relay race
at the
1924 Summer Olympics
.
[1]
LeConey was raised in
Moorestown, New Jersey
, where he first started showing his ability as a sprinter at
Moorestown High School
.
[2]
In 1922, LeConey won the
AAU
championships in the 220
yard
race and, as a
Lafayette College
(Class of 1923) student, the
IC4A
championships in both the 100 and 220 yard races.
At the
1924 Summer Olympics
in
Paris
, Al LeConey ran the anchor leg for the American 4x100 meter relay team which won the gold medal with a
world record
time of 41.0 seconds.
After the Olympics, LeConey covered the 100 yard distance in 9.4 seconds, but the effort was later disallowed when judges ruled that the time was wind-aided. In 1932, LeConey received an unusual honor when a picture of him at the 1924 Olympics was used by the U.S. Post Office in developing a commemorative stamp.
