Howard Hayes (athlete)
Howard Wood Hayes (October 30, 1877 in Steubenville, Ohio – August 30, 1937 in Chicago, Illinois) was an American track and field athlete who competed at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, France. He also competed in intercollegiate track for the University of Michigan.[1] A judge on the Municipal Court of Chicago, Hayes committed suicide by shooting himself in 1937.[1]
In 1923, Hayes was an unsuccessful Republican nominee for a seat on the Superior Court of Cook County. He finished twenty-first place in the election, and only the first twenty finishers were elected to the court.[2][3]
Hayes competed in the 800 metres. He placed third in his first-round (semifinals) heat and did not advance to the final.
