Edwin Herbert Montague (13 April 1885 – 28 December 1937) was a British athlete. He competed at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London.[1]

Biography

Montague finished third in the 440 yards AAA Championships event at the 1903 AAA Championships[2] and second at the 1904 AAA Championships.[3][4] Another third place at the 1905 AAA Championships[5] was followed by him finally winning the 440 yards title at the 1907 AAA Championships.[6][7]

At the 1908 Olympic Games, Montague won his preliminary heat in the 400 metres with a time of 50.2 seconds. He dropped his time to 49.8 seconds in the semifinals but lost to Wyndam Halswelle, who set a new Olympic record at 48.4 seconds in the race. Montague's second-place finish in the semifinals prevented him from advancing to the final.

He was also a member of the British team, which was eliminated in the first round of the medley relay event by the United States.
