Pat Haley

In the 1937 British Empire Games, Pat Haley competed with the 4x110 yard relay team which won the gold medal and set a World Record.

In 1936, he competed in the Junior Olympic Trials where he won the 100 metre, broad jump and high jump, setting a Canadian junior high jump record.

He attended Washington State University on an athletic scholarship and was undefeated in the Pacific Northwest for 2 years. In his freshman year, he could run 100 yards in 9.5 seconds.

The 1940 Olympic Games, to be held in Finland, were cancelled because of the war, at a time when Pat was in his prime.

In 1943, he joined the Navy and then went to work for Cominco in Trail upon his return.
