Harvey Cohn (athlete)
Harvey Cohn ( Harvey Wright Cohn ; born December 4, 1884 in New York City , † July 1965 in Massachusetts ) was an American middle and long-distance runner who took part in three Olympic Games.
In 1904 in St. Louis he finished eighth over 1,500 meters . Over 800 meters he did not make the first six and in the obstacle course over 2590 meters he did not make it into the first four.
In 1905 he became US champion over the 2 mile obstacle.
At the Olympic Intermediate Games in Athens in 1906 , he was seventh or eighth over 1500 meters. He didn't make it into the top six in the 5-mile run.
In 1908 in London he was part of the US team in the 3-mile team race, which took second place. Since only the first three of a team were considered in the medal award, Cohn, who was twelfth in the individual ranking and thus fifth within the US team, was left empty-handed.
Harvey Cohn started for the Irish American Athletic Club.
