He is entered in the juvenile category and will run in the 100-meter dash, 200-meter dash and the four by 100 relay (in which he and three other youths will each run 100 meters). The following article on Harry—and the Haley family— was written by sports writer Jim Kearney and appeared in last Thursday's Vancouver Sun. Vancouver Sun. * Following the torch cere- mony, Haley will get down to business, representing B.C. in the 100 and 200-meter events, where he holds the Canadian midget records of 11 and 22.4 seconds. Last month he won both events in the B.C. trials and in the provincial high school championships. He's a chip off the old running blocks, but he still has a way to go to catch up with his dad. In the late 1930s, long before metric distances were in vogue in these here parts, Pat Haley was running the 100 yards in 9.5 and the 220 in 21 flat. In the context of those or SPORTS. News About.

Jesse Owens was the world record holder at 9.4 and 20.3 In the metric measure his times would translate into 10.4 for the 100 and maybe 20.9 for the 200. But he was 19, two years older than his son is now, and a student at Washington State, when he ran these times. A Youth Prodigy, Too The Hitler war having just started, he had no opportunity to demonstrate his world class speed on an Olympic stage. And the the time the war ended and international athletics re- grouped at the London Olym- pics of 1948, his track career was well behind him. But he was remembering on the blower from Kinnaird yesterday that he, too, was only 17 and well short of his potential when he had his first chance in a big competition. He went to Sydney, Australia, in 1988 for the Commonwealth (then the British Empire) Games, While he didn't make it past the semi-finals in the 100-yard competition, he won a gold medal as a member of Canada's winning 440 relay team. One might presume, then, that bloodlines, so important in horse racing, also count for something when humans line up on the starting blocks. But while one might presume as much, virtually nothing can be found in track and field"record books to sustain such logic. In other sports, yes. Hockey, baseball and football are relatively well larded with famous sons of famous fathers.
