    Good morning everyone and welcome to the Massachusetts State Track Coaches Association’s induction ceremony of former cross country and track and field greats from Massachusetts. These athletes, when competing in high school, in college or beyond, established themselves amongst the best that this state, this country and even this world has ever seen. My name is Bob L’Homme and I coach both the Cross Country and Track and Field teams at Bishop Feehan High School in Attleboro, Ma.

I am the chairman of the Hall of Fame Committee and I will be your MC for this morning’s induction ceremony. The state of Massachusetts currently has approximately 100 athletes that have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Names like Johnny Kelley, Billy Squires, John Thomas, Alberto Salazar, Lynn Jennings, Mark Coogan, Calvin Davis, and Shalane Flanagan to name a few are sprinkled within those 100 athletes. Last year we inducted Abby D’Agostino from Masconomet High School, Fred Lewis from Springfield Tech, Karim Ben Saunders from Cambridge R&L, Anne Jennings of Falmouth, Arantxa King of Medford, Ron Wayne of Brockton and Heather Oldham of Woburn H.S.

The Flying Finn’s American Sojourn: Hannes Kolehmainen in the United States, 1912-1921. International Journal of the History of Sport, 29(7), 1035-1059. doi: 10.1080/09523367.2012.679025 This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in International Journal of the History of Sport on 15 May 2012, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/09523367.2012.679025 Made available courtesy of Taylor & Francis: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09523367.2012.679025 ***© Taylor & Francis. Reprinted with permission. No further reproduction is authorized without written permission from Taylor & Francis. This version of the document is not the version of record. Figures and/or pictures may be missing from this format of the document. *** Abstract: Shortly after he won three gold medals and one silver medal in distance running events at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, Finland's Hannes Kolehmainen immigrated to the United States. He spent nearly a decade living in Brooklyn, plying his trade as a mason and dominating the amateur endurance running circuit in his adopted homeland. He became a naturalised US citizen in 1921 but returned to Finland shortly thereafter. During his American sojourn, the US press depicted him simultaneously as an exotic foreign athlete and as an immigrant shaped by his new environment into a symbol of successful assimilation. Kolehmainen's career raised questions about sport and national identity – both Finnish and American – about the complexities of immigration during the floodtide of European migration to the US, and about native and adopted cultures in shaping the habits of success.

Darel Newman (Fresno State) [10.4 – O] 10.3e 6. 1. Charlie Greene (Nebraska) 10.4 7. 3. Richard Stebbins (Grambling) 10.4e 8. 4. Bernie Rivers (New Mexico) 10.4e Bob Hayes had emerged in 1962, after a 9.3y/20.1y double at the '61 NAIA, and inside 3 seasons had stamped himself as the best 100 man of all-time. However, in the AAU he injured himself as he crossed the line, and he was in the OT only because of a special dispensation. In the OT race Newman started well but soon faded and Hayes, Jackson and Pender edged away from the field at 30m, with Hayes' power soon drawing clear of the others. He crossed the line 5ft ahead, still going away, and the margin of 0.1 clearly flattered Jackson. A time of 10.3 would have been a fairer indication for both Jackson and Ashworth rather than the official version of 10.4, while Stebbins and Rivers (neither officially timed) are listed at 10.4e from videotape.
