Henry Hawtrey

Henry Hawtrey

Henry Courtenay Hawtrey (June 29, 1882 – November 16, 1961) was a British athlete, winner of convert|5|mi|km run at the 1906 Summer Olympics.

The British were the leading force in the long distance running in early 1900s. Although the most celebrated long distance runner Alfred Shrubb had turned to professional just before the "intercalated" Olympics of 1906, the Britons sent a very good team to Athens.

Henry Hawtrey took the lead after convert|2|mi|km and won easily, beating second-placed runner Johan Svanberg from Sweden by convert|50|yd. The Britons used good team work to aid Hawtrey to win, as third-placed Irishman John Daly was disqualified because he blocked the Swedish runner's way several times.
