  • Dan Kelly: Baker City’S Athletic Superstar by Gary Dielman
    Dan Kelly: Baker City’s Athletic Superstar by Gary Dielman Dan who? That was the reaction I got from long-time Baker City Herald sports reporter Gerry Steele, when I asked him in the fall of 2009, if he’d ever heard of Dan Kelly. Same reaction from Baker High School Principal Jerry Peacock, who confirmed my suspicion that Kelly’s photo does not hang in the gymnasium gallery of BHS sports greats. Earliest known photo of Dan Kelly. Detail from 8th grade class photo in the 1900 Nugget. But life-long Baker City resident ninety-eight-year-old Chet Smith had heard of Kelly. “Yes, I’ve heard of Dan Kelly. His family home was on the southwest corner of 7th and Broadway, present location of a church. For me Kelly was sort of a myth. Only thing I remember is that he ran the 100 yard-dash in less than ten seconds and broke the world record.” The passage of a century has dimmed Baker City’s memory of Kelly. Nevertheless, Kelly’s eclipse is hard to fathom given his amazing athletic accomplishments. On June 23, 1906, running for the Multnomah Athletic Club of Portland while attending the University of Oregon, Kelly broke world records in both the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes at the same track meet in Spokane, Washington. And in between the two events he won the broad jump. Then, at the 1908 Olympics in London, England, Kelly won a silver medal in the broad jump as a member of the United States track and field team.

Scottish Indoor Championships 1 INTRODUCTION The first Scottish indoor championships were held at the Bell’s Sports Centre in Perth on 24 March 1972 with events for male athletes only. A year later, the championships were held for both men and women. The championships, held on Perth’s 154-metre track, were held for 5 years before falling into abeyance. During that time, the championships saw the emergence of future Olympic gold medallist Allan Wells, a Scottish title winner in 1974 – not in the 60 metres, but in the long jump. After a 10-year absence, the championships returned in 1987, held on a portable track erected at the Ingliston Exhibition Centre in Edinburgh. With the opening of an international standard 200 metres track at the Kelvin Hall in Glasgow later that year, the championships found a new home and were Gillian Cooke, winner of 17 medals - photo by Bobby Gavin held annually at the new venue from 1988 to 2012. The Kelvin Hall arena changed indoor athletics in Scotland, attracting the first British international match (v France) on 6 February 1988 and staging the European Indoor Championships in 1990. The venue was able to attract top British athletes to the Scottish Championships, with athletes of the calibre of Jonathan Edwards & Sally Gunnell (1989), Linford Christie (1990 and 1994), Katharine Merry (1992- 1994) and Colin Jackson (1997) among those who made the trip north to win Scottish titles.
