Henry (Harry) Winston Jerome

Harry Winston Jerome was and still is one of our many outstanding athletes, confirming his name as the fastest runner in Canada at his time and now too. He was born on September 30Th 1940 in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Later on when he was 12 years old he moved to North Vancouver. There he competed in many different high school and college competitions building up his skills in sprinting, and soon representing Canada in the Olympics like his grandfather had once done. Harry had been to 3 summer Olympics representing Canada for the 100 meter dash in 1960, 1964, and 1968. He had also been part of the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth games and the 1967 Pan American Games. While he competed in these competition he had a lot of fame but he also supposedly suffered from a few medical conditions. A few of his accomplishments are--he made 4 world records in the years 1960, 1961, 1962, and 1966. Harry Jerome also won a bronze medal in the 1964 summer Olympics and a gold medal in the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth games. During his many accomplishments Harry Jerome also pulled his muscle in the 1960 summer Olympics, and tore a muscle in his left thigh in the 1962 commonwealth games, making his doctors think that he may never be able to run or walk again. After which another misfortune of brain aneurysm killed him at the age of 42 on December 7, 1982.

After Harry's retirement and death many places were honoured to have a statue of him built in it, or have that place named after him. Here are a few thing that were named after him--a weights room at the university of Oregan, a RecCenter, a sports center, and other places that involve sports. There is also a 9 foot bronze statue of him in the Stanley Park sea wall in Vancouver. And there is an annual Harry Jerome awards.




This is a websites about Harry Jerome talking about his youth and how he had been able to accomplish what he had accomplished and why he was so successful at his time. Here is another website I used that also talks about his life and accomplishments.
